EKU 28

Brewed by Kulmbacher Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: Eisbock
Kulmbach, Germany

Pours a nice clear coppery-red with a fairly thick, pale yellow head that does not stick around. Aroma is strong and more fruity than malty, not at all like a beer with such a high alcohol content. Flavor has a fairly fierce but not overwhelming alcohol bite; taste is mainly sweet and fruity with an undertone of caramel, more like liquor than beer. Aftertaste is sweet without being cloying.

Shared w/ Gman during Christmas celebration at mommas. His rating is below mine....read his rating. Main points: Super sweet and chewy. Robust fruitiness, but not the kind I generally enjoy...b/c I do enjoy fruitiness now and then. Very malty as well. Not a huge fan.

Bottle in a pint glass. Pours a crystal clear amber with cranberry undertones. Off white head that dissipated quickly, and zero lacing. Smells very sweet, yeasty, malty, and something like dried prunes. The taste is also very yeasty and of overly ripe fruit or prunes. Honestly, this is not a very good beer.

Holy shit Talk about malt and sweetness. I felt my heart stop. But it was beautiful drinking a few of these on a cold ass Christmas Eve in the back yard before the Eve fun kickerd of.. .UMM big ass malt aromas. complex , challenging flavours but are still kinda approcable . shitloads of raw hot boozinees-that become streams with chocolate raisin esters : Burnt sugars burn your tounge in the finish. Good fun.

Amber pour with decent head. Shared this 12 bottle at toncatchers house. Lots of sweet malt aromas. Very sweet all the way through the flavor. Pretty good.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear, effervescent amber with a moderate amount of thick, cream-colored head. Cool appearance. Fruity aroma features apple, peach, fruitcake, and golden raisin scents. Licorice (anise) dominates the flavor, at least initially. Yellow plum, mango juice, an apricot pie flavors also present. Sweet and rich, spicy taste. Odd but interesting, spicy aftertaste. Thick and fizzy in the palate. Alcohol burn as it goes down the throat. Not as hard to drink as one might expect. EKU 28 is, somewhat surprisingly, not bad, but it*s certainly not an every day beer.

Pours like the picture. Nose is malt heavy and sweet with raisin, brown sugar, and alcohol. Flavor is similar, a little saltier, heavily sweet and sugary, more alcohol. Medicinal with warmth. Syrupy body, short finish of bread and alcohol. Decent, but a little one sided.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a crystal clear rosy amber color with minimal head. Nose of candied tree fruits and sweet malts. Flavor is a little boozy with sweet malt and sweet fruits.
