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.

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.

Dark amber color with no head. Aroma of malt and raw barley. Definitely reminicent of a barley wine. The alcohol is not hidden at all; two medium sips burns a hole in you. There’s just not much to entice my taste buds to dance.

2003 bottle. Wow what an aroma. Aroma very strong and permeating. Lots of bittersweet fruit, tart tart cherries, some prunes and dark dark concord grapes. Good thick dry molasses sweet aroma on the backend to balance it. Pours with relatively little off white head, clear but very wavy and glucose-like, as is typical of the style. Bright orange to a soft hazy peach. Copper colors in there as well. Unlike the kulmbacher eis in color and no dark, rich fruit and roast, but every bit as much flavor. Different but quite elegant, lots of lighter fruit, very sweet, but I will agree, it somehow isnt cloying, good bitterness, maybe a touch of acidity/alcohol but nowhere near what I would expect from from 11 abv. Flavors of sweet yellow grapes, golden delicious apples, syrupy in a good way, very viscous. Some light sweet citrus tones, like sweet orange curacao. Full body. Not actually concentrated by the ice and removal process?

Deep gold/ light copper color with a slight head. Aroma is of malt and alcohol. Flavor is thick, malty and slightly warming from the high alcohol. Overall slightly cloying due to the high alcohol.

(500ml can) Pours a large yellow, frothy head and a clear, deep amber body. Nose of sweet molasses with some hidden hops. Very sweet malt with a tinny finish. Oily texture. Interesting... Good! Thanks Rudge75!
