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.

12oz bottle. 1722302 in the black box on the back of the bottle. Filtered and bright ruby amber hue. Tight ring and web of cream colored head. Toasty toffee malt aromas. Cooked sugar and a noticable whiff of alcohol. Big sweet sticky malts, big fruit and alcohol warmth. Finishes rather dry and crisp. Hits all the tastes and palate. Toffee and caramel. Big red berry notes. Definite port notes. Short lived yet big effervescence. It stumbles and accosts the palate rather than pleasantly rolling over. Bold flavor definitions. I love sweet sticky beer, and this is in that ballpark. But I have had better, and from the same brewery.

Bottle: Very clear copper color with a small, quick to dissapate white head. No lacing at all. Nose is quite fruity, malty, and hints of cider qualities. Taste is sweet with fruits and malt with a warming alcohol finish. For my first ever Eisbock I was quite pleased.

Candy sugar aroma over a thin headed and leggy swirl. Hmmm... like rum with training wheels? Blaring alcohol heat on the tongue and stomach reminescent of Vicks 44D. Unfinishable.

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.

giallo carico nettamente alcolica dolciastra a mio parere inbevibile di per se ma abbinata al ciccolato fondente alza di gran lunga la testa
