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.

Hides the 11% well, sweet and malty. Interesting linger, not horrible but yet again, German beer is not great.

Head starts nice then disappears. Beautiful orange brown. Sweet aroma. Very sweet flavor with a mountain of alcohol. Not tasting much else.

Bottle thanks to my brother. Amber with no head. Nose is fruity with notes of sherry and raisins. Thick like syrup and the sherry flavor really shines with a very smooth balance between the malts.

NJJereme (365) - Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA - MAY 16, 2009
11.2 oz. bottle. Pours a nice amber color w/ a light white head. Smells heavily of caramel and hard alcohol. Light to medium bodied, goes down like hard alcohol, burning sensation in esophagus. Interesting brew.

noncaloric (684) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 5, 2009
Clear medium amber, thin off-white head, good retention but not much lace. Aroma of light caramel and alcohol, quickly fading. Flavor has a lot of simple sweetness and alcohol in it, but not much other character. A bit of medicinal bitterness on the finish. Potent alcohol warming, definite syrupy heft to the beer.

decaturstevo (3386) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - MAY 4, 2009
Deep copper pour with a tiny white head and lace. A deep brown sugar aroma dominated for me. Brown sugar on the flavor followed by a very light smooth finishing bitter. A bit foamy medium bodied beer.

Bottle. Dark amber, medium to thin head. Sugary fruity aroma, honyey:ish flavour with a distinctive bitterness to the finish. Prominent alcohol.
