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.

Wow, what a malt bomb. I love the body on this one, with just barely perceptible hops. Interesting huge lager. One of my favorites.

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

Better clear your calendar before drinking this one. Very distinct flavor, different from any other beer. Smells wonderful. ured from the bottle into a pint glass. The beer has a nice, healthy aroma featuring some pine and earthy hops, with some dark fruit scents, and a candy malt contrast. it is pretty expensive.

330 ML bottle in Germany. Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t this used to be about 13%? Anyway, it is one of the better beers at being able to handle the high alcohol content. At one time this was the Strongest beer in the world. Times have changed. The original ice beer!

Aroma promises one thing, in massive quantities: Malt! The flavor delivers, but it’s still quite sweet. Color is like that of a copper Pfennig. A great dessert beer.

My first Eisbock. I like it. Deep red-orange, with initially big and dense yet eventually diminishing offwhite head. Aroma of malt, dried fruit, and alcohol. Flavor has lots of dried fruit, cotton candy, some malt, and brandylike notes. No discernable hops. Full-bodied. Much more balanced and pleasing than the previous ratings had led me to expect. If I had tasted it blind, I would have pegged it for something Belgian.

(Draft) If you like whiskeys and barleywines, you'll really appreciate this unique and lovely beer. On the other hand, if your concept of beer requires such frivolities such as a head of foam or an odor of hops, you are likely to be disappointed. Those with a taste for such things will be rewarded by a delicious brandied malt flavor, an exquisite golden orange color, and glowing, sticky palette that ends in a haze of alchohol. Not for the faint of heart.

I am surprised at the ratings for this beer. Guess it's a love it or hate it. However, this is what I would expect from this kind of a beer. Slightly cloying, alcohol everywhere,(it has legs), thick, vanilla somewhere in there, malt, lots of things going on, complex. Winter warmer is a understatement. Great end of the night beer, or better yet, this one will knock ya out.
