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.

coyotehunter (621) - , Michigan, USA - MAR 21, 2009
Strong aroma of Banana bread and walnut. Pours a dark yellow amber with a full finger head. Rather pungent bourbony flavor. Not what I expected. Notes of malt and sticky pine, maybe caramel. Alcohol isnt hidden at all.

Jukkabro (3457) - Tampere, FINLAND - MAR 11, 2009
Bright coppery colored with little vanishing yellow head. Raisinny and nutty aroma with some bourbon port vinous notes, still rather thin one, mild alcohol comes up. Medium to full bodied. Flavor has sweet caramel and raisins in start, aftertaste dries with mild alcohol and port, dryness here too. Alcohol lasts rather obviously.

curly (2193) - Seattle (Newcastle), Washington, USA - MAR 3, 2009
This bottle pours clear red with a thin tan head that mostly disappears. Aroma is caramel sweetness, slight alcohol and sweet fruit. Thick sweet taste with a little alcohol coming through the nose almost making it taste like cough syrup. It has a very rich texture and flavor to it and finishes well. Plus the label tells about the German law Reinheitsgebot but it’s all in German. Good authentic brew.

Stefano (1676) - Esbjerg, DENMARK - FEB 28, 2009
Amber colour with a small mostly diminsihing white head. Aroma of caramel malts and hops. To sweet and to much of bitter alocohol aftertaste in the finish.

Elwood (1834) - Between a rock and a hard place, Virginia, USA - FEB 26, 2009
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!

Great beer with a good level of sweetness. Lots of fruit flavors with a bit of alcohol taste. Good flavor overall. Not sure ehy it is rated so low for such a tasty beer.

Hophead22 (2159) - Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA - FEB 13, 2009
bottle. Copper pour, with a small white head. Slightly sweet fruity aroma. Sweet flavor as well, a little boozy as well. Pretty good.

lakersfan16 (53) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - FEB 6, 2009
Pours a dark amber, almost copperish, with an off-white head. Aroma of sweet fruit including raisins, pears, and prunes. Fairly sweet and rich beer with a lot of alcohol, although it is not overwhelming. Very tasty overall, make sure to enjoy.
