Commercial Description:
This world-famous beer has the character and richness to stand in for fine sherry or port. Just the right degree of sweetness - never cloying; wonderfully aromatic and warming. EKU 28 is the one whenever something good and strong is needed.

Pour is very pretty golden amber. Some white around the brim of the glass, but not real head. Nose is very sweet with raisins, caramel, malts, and alcohol. First sip is quite nice and smooth. Tastes of even more raisins, very very sweet, big on the honey, with some really big malt notes, all while staying very sweet. Reminded me of one of the JW Lee brews I’ve had earlier, cant place which one though.

A nice malty aroma but very little hop. Pours a deep rich golden amber and with a nice size head. Drinking reminds one of a mild dessert wine with a hint of tangerine.

Malty sweet aroma with choclatey undertones. Taste was same, well rounded, and nicely hid the huge alcohol (contrary to what others have found). Minimal aftertaste, also. (12oz/$3)

Rich brown color with decent head. Very thick and syrupy with a high alcoholic bite to it. Tasted kind of like the cereal Grape Nuts served with hot whisky…pure malt. I didn’t enjoy this at all. This may be a classic case of simply not liking a beer that is crafted very well, however this malt attack aint for me.

bottled, amber color and has no head. huge aroma of caramel and alcohol. full bodied, the taste of alcohol dominates a complex mix of various flavors. fairly drinkable given its abv, the balance between alcohol and other malt flavors is bold.

Poured almost bright orange. Thick head that faded quickly. Smell was sour and thick, with lots of alcohol. Taste was very much like sryup. Sour , yeast. And strong alcohol. I have had other big beers that hid the high % much better.

Poured a reddish copper color with a small, white head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of cognac, honey, sweet caramel malt, whisky, and alcohol. Sweet, more honey, nuts, caramel malts, whiskey, and alcohol as well.
