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.

33cl bottle coded 13603544. Pours w/ no head, practicaly flat. first smell to hit me is something like cabbage in alcohol...as it sits maybe it takes on something a little less disturbing, but I still don’t like the aroma...I’m really trying to like this too, but it just isn’t helping itself. Sweet, flat, alcoholic vegetables is how it strikes me. Maybe an of bottle, but not really my style anyhow, so I don’t see a need to revisit this one. The dog sure loved it, though.

Had this tonight at Papago. Deep dark copper with a sweet malt aroma and flavor. Alcohol is heavy on the finish. Good for siping but much to sweet for me.

Bottle. Deep dark copper color with a nice fluffy tan head. Malty. Very malty. Malty aroma, with some hints of vanilla. Nice touch of alcohol. No hop presence. No bitterness. Enjoyable beer.

Bottle. I have always liked this one, but it is not for everyone. This is a malt monster by every definition, although Samiclaus and Urbock 23 I think are superior. Golden and clear, with not much of a head. Massive malt aroma, with vanilla, a touch of alcohol, and various candies. Big malty, malt-wine flavor. No bitterness, just malt. Slight alcohol bite. Nice fire-sipping cold night brew.

Has the appearance of a rosé or something like a mix of cranberry & white grape juice; essentially no head & little carbonation but interesting look. Aroma is heavy malt with an alcohol sting. Taste is heavy malt as well; sticky sweet and alcoholic. Strong, warming alcohol palate. Good, but I found myself paying too much attention to the alcohol presence while drinking it.

Re-rate. 4 year old bottle. Pours candy apple red with an initial white head that quickly dissipates.Smell is of sweet cherries, sugar, some metallic elemenst and mellow alcohol. Taste is of some sweet sugar and malt with warming alchol. Not nearly as cloying as a fresh sample. Finish is light and sweet. The alcohol in this is well masked.

Bottle - thanks to BeerCellar2 for the trade. Pours clear amber orange with no head. Aroma is sweet, burnt candy sweet, toasted powder sugar sweet with mixed floral and wood notes. Flavor is also sweet with lots of alcohol evident, somewhat burning - like a liquier and contrary to their commercial description, somewhat cloying. Full bodied and no carbonation. Definitely a unique brew, but not my favorite style.
