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.

Pours a decent frothy head, that disappears fast. Very malty, a bit vergetable-like. Thick, sweet, malty flavor with lots of warming alcohol. A peppery fruitiness (raisin and plums). Long, malty alcoholic finish.

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.

Golden alcohol appearance, no head or lacing. Very bocky aroma with presence of alcohol, aroma has hints of blueberry pancakes I think. Flavor is full of sugery fruit flavors with that cherry bock background, flavor is alcoholic as well. This isn't that bad, I think a little underrated for it's flavor.

Bottle Peg Leg Pub St Maarten. Pours out a deep brown color with a slight frothy head. Aroma is sweet and malty. The taste is pretty much all malts, with some notes of alcohol, and sugar with a few notes of alcohol, but not as much as would be expected.

pours orange and clear with a very weak malty nose, flavor is very nice, malty and sweet but offset by a nice amount of bittering hops. a medium body and smooth aftertaste, no hint of the abv anywhere. very enjoyable brew.

33cl Bottle. Quiet salted apple flesh aroma. Malty and plain. A bit of oat bread. Yeast tang. Kind of bland. Pours a crystal clear henna with a fading bubbles in savanna. Flavor is dominated by sweet french toast, reduced lemon sugars and alcohol. A bit tart. Brandy-like fruits and raisins. The spritzy carbonation keeps this one lively and palatable, otherwise it might be unbearably sweet. Light age fatigue. Really, the malt character isn’t that deep and the alcohol pervasive. A coarse, grainy hop smack shows up the back flow. Clean and refined tasting, but I just want more from my eisbock in terms of nuance, characterful flavor. I would have expected more depth in alcohol as well, for a beer frozen out. Always interesting to try an eisbock. Thanks Sean!
