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.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a reddish brown. Sweet caramel/roasty aroma. Roast malt/chocolate flavor with a touch of fruit and great hops.

Pours a bright ruby red into a snifter. Ten micro head leaves no lacing -- in fact, it tears. Tangy alcohol aromas. Sticky, sweet honey but almost crisp with a medium lasting hop to alcohol burn back to honey finish. Great apertif -- 11.2 oz could probably be shared.

BeerHawk’s Beer Gods in the Boro, aka 1000 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, By God Beer God Gathering, BG1K Tasting. Sample from a bottle thanks to BeerHawk. Lightly red-orange with a light off white ring. Aroma of brown sugar. Taste is just pure brown sugar, very very sweet. Enjoyable in small sips.

Almost no head. Orange colour. Tastes like cloudberries. But the alcohol-flavour dominates.

11.2 oz from my departmental picnic - thanks, John! Been a while since I’ve had this. Rich, full bodied, and very sweet, it’s got heavy carbonation to keep things from getting to syrupy and to mask the alkie burn just a bit. Lots and lots of caramel malts tend to mask some of the distinctiveness of the eisbock style, but it’s certainly a fairly pleasant rendtion.

Pours a dark amber with a yellowish head. Smells of almondliquir and metals. Quite sweet and sugary. Slightly bready. Very full bodied. Dry, sweet and alcoholic finish.

Raisin malt aroma, very sweet. Head quickly disappears. This beer punches you in the tounge. Super malty, alcohol, grapes, sweet port. Geez. I could see savoring a bottle of this on a cold winter day.

Aroma is rather un inspiring. Yeah, its big and maly. I get a lot of alcohol too. Appearance is fine. Poured amber/orange with a completly disapating head. Maybe a dark cherry with some toastyness. Bitterness comes out good. Kind of slick across the tounge. Alcohol makes it pretty thin. I would have expected more from a beer with MJ’s recomendation right on the bottle.
