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 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.

33cl bottle: This one pours a fairly clear amber color, with a fair amount of off-white head. That drops off quickly to leave a glass with no lacing. The aroma is a bit sweet. Mainly notes of caramel and raisins to the nose. Possibly some other fruits and a bit brown-sugary also. There is a flatness to the taste: the carbonation is already gone. The taste is a bit of caramel malts and some dark fruits. Maybe a hint of oakiness in there also. Not bad.

Yadda yadda yadda used to sell it - bla bla bla - could grab a bottle from case in winter and drink it - so what? I really didn't appreciate this despite liking so many beers back when. Good friend I worked with brought me one to see what I would think now. Much more appreciated, but overall it seemed like a monochord symphony all about the malt. Glorious malt. Superb malt. Excellent malt. I know there's more to it, but that's what struck me. Were it to incorporate the slightest of another complimentary element I think it could battle for a very high position.

tawny colored with a tall flully white head. wood and red fruit aroma in good balance and intensity. Light in body and doesn’t remind me of a concentrated doppelbock at all. the body is very thin and the fruity sweetness reminds me more of a barleywine that goes down much too easy. Milk caramel, oak, and cherry.

Draught. Honestly a fairly nice eisbock. Poured a still copper colout with no real head. Big aroma of caramel and molassas plus a little alcohol. Huge caramel flavour plus some more sweetness from brown sugar. Finishes with some alcohol warmth. I thought it was very enjoyable.
