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.

From a snifter. Pours a lovely clear red color with a small head and absolutely no lacing. Aroma is of cherry, plum, apple, copper, and lots of alcohol. Extremely sweet and fruity flavor carries on with the aforementioned fruits. Alcohol presence is ridiculously high and the sweet syrupyness is a little over the top for me. This is only the third Eisbock I’ve tried and it is easily my least favorite.

zero head, reddish brown and clear. aroma is slightly fruity but the alcohol is extremely apparent in this one...and not in a good way.

Frothy, off-white head which diminishes fully. Virtually no lace. Normally clear, orange body. Yeasty (dough), hoppy (flowers) and port aroma. Moderately acidic, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly acidic, lightly bitter (long-lasting) finish. Fully bodied. Lively carbonation. Moderately alcoholic feel.

Sorry, but I will be the third consecutive person to call it definitely cloying. Big alcoholic beer that gives an uncomfortable feeling of not being anything except potent. No head, no balance, no thanks.

Terrible, flavor sweetest, of swit. Without fizzy, extinguished. It seems syrup. To avoid.

Look of a tarnished golden hue of morning's first light. Effervescent glow of radiant golden dew. Nose of caramel walnuts roasted on an open fire. Medicinal fumes of a dentist office. Smooth alcohol taste.

Poured almost bright orange. Thick head that faded quickly. Smell was sour and thick, with lots of alcohol. Taste was very much like sryup. Sour , yeast. And strong alcohol. I have had other big beers that hid the high % much better.

EKU 28 poured golden & fizzy with thick foam. First sip is a BOOM! of yeasty bready, sweet acohol, and bitterness. EKU 28 is an Eisbock, tastes like a blend of 2XIPA, baryleywine, doppelbock and malt liquor. Too Hi-Test for my palate, but a beer that is important in beer-geek culture.
