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.

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.

Medium orange-gold color, medium head. A medium bodied beer. Malty and slightly sweet. Taste is more like a sherry or port than a beer, but EKU 28 retains its beer character. Nice hop bite. Big bold beer. Mouthfeel is full and expansive. Finish is clean and smooth. Noticeable alcohol bite (11%). Aftertaste is malty and slightly sweet. Slight oily texture to this beer. A bit overpowering.

(500ml can) Pours a large yellow, frothy head and a clear, deep amber body. Nose of sweet molasses with some hidden hops. Very sweet malt with a tinny finish. Oily texture. Interesting... Good! Thanks Rudge75!

Not as bad as I thought it would be. Malt, alcohol, butterscotch, caramel, honey, very sweet aroma. No head. Very alcoholic sweet taste, alcohol is present but not overwhelimg. Very sweet.

Clear amber color, off white head, fully diminishing. Very sweet malt aroma, some alcohol. Flavor is big time malt, very sweet, not too sweet but damn close to my tolerance of sweet. Alcohol is fairly assertive, but overall masked pretty well. Full body. Not bad but it'll test your sweetness threshold.

Bottle: Orange hued golden, quite clear, small sudsy off-white head, falls quickly, sparce lacing, soft carbonation.   Thick chewy nose, raisiny, fig, all in a dark and heavy sense.   However, seems somewhat only bready on the tongue, with a slight alcohol trailer.   Moderately sweet, nearing the cloying factor, but is rather palatable.   Not as flavorful as I’d hoped.   Moderate body, medium to full mouthfeel.   Fairly clean finish, just not complex or flavorful enough.

Clear amber coloured, thin, quicly diminishing white head; big fruity (raisins or dried plums) nose, some traces of alcohol; heavy sweet start, full sweet malty flavour, low caerbonation, smooth, distinctive bitter-sweet ending. Good, but not a world class brew
