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.

Orange color, clear, no head at all. Aroma has orange citrus notes, slightly sweet. Flavor is very very sweet, though not as syrupy of a mouthfeel as other extremely sweet beers. Overall it's just alright.

A very strong beer. The taste of alcohol is there. A very special taste as well ice cold as not so cold. Really a beer for persons who have experience with strong beer

Nice copper color with a white head that fades into trailing pools of carbonation. Nose is sweet with some fruit and alcohol. Medium carbonation. Taste is very sweet upfront. Nice, rich mouthfeel. Hints of orange that remind me of Grand Marnier, macerated fruit, raisins. Some hop bitterness on the back of the tongue evens out the sweetness. Noticeable alcohol, but that is to be expected. A good after dinner beer in the midst of the winter!

The color was a golden with orange hues. The aroma was sweet, candy, fermented fruit, and aged. The flavor was alcohol, sweet, aged, and citris. The palate was medium bodied. The finish was a little warm.

This is a tough one to describe. I have noticed that when you hit the 11% alc mark you can feel the belly warming effect. This pours a beautiful brassy amber color. Faint head. This is a true sipping beer. I liked it.

Nutty maltiness in aroma and sweet stickiness in texture; over powering alcohol sensation saves it for those who like scotch!

Consumed at approximately 60 degrees from a large brandy snifter. Pours crystal clear amber with a wafer thin white head. Aroma is quite dominated by the 11% ABV, but backed up with a big hit of honey, apricot jam and grape in the nose. Mouthfeel leans a bit to the thin side and somewhat oily. Flavor is one of insulin inducing sweetness!! If you’re not fond of sweet beers this one is not for you. Lots of jammy, honey, molasses sweetness with a pronounced port like finish. A brew like this needs at least 11% to cut through sugar rush! I enjoyed it but it took me close to an hour to finish it due to richness.
