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 copper color. Smellls malty and caramelly. Taste is semi sweet with a very boozy overtone. I need some pretzels.

It’s a really good beer but I prefer something dryer and maltier. EKU 28 is so rich it would be hard to drink for more than a quarter of football. I prefer a solid beer that is less sugary sweet.

From a bottle poured a brown/amber color with a good amount of head. Flavor sweet malty, with a lingering finish.

Poured from bottle an orange-amber with medium sized off-white head that fades quickly and completely leaving no laces. Aroma is malty with a caramel sweetness and a hint of alcohol vapor that becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. The flavor has a honey sweetness, caramel, hints of orangey citrus and an big alcohol warmth. Good carbonation adds a nice acidic tingle on the tongue which helps keep this beer from seeming cloyingly sweet. I thought this beer was good. It has a smoothness that reminds me of ice wine but there are not many flavors here. I would not drink it often but for a change of pace it’s nice.

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - JUL 28, 2008
A dark amber colored beer, with a beige head. This disappears very quckly. The aroma is very malty, caramel and sirup sweet. The taste is very sweet as well, from caramel and sirup. It’s sticky. It’s warming because of the alcohol. This is not my favourite beer.

Plovmand (4685) - Helsinge, DENMARK - JUL 21, 2008
Bottle at Kulminator, Antwerp. Pours clear amber with at frothy white head. Heavy malty aroma with some caramel. Great sweet malty flavour with lots of caramel and rye bread. Strong alcoholic finish.

Gave off an aroma of sweet maple and gave off a similar taste. It had a somewhat upfront alcohol palate. Nice amber color and left a nice lacing in the glass...almost like a fine wine. Recommended for those looking for something new.

Holy crap. Got this because I liked their Eisbock....didnt realize what i was getting into. 11%, but actually hides it pretty well. It’s a lot like a good scotch or sherry. It packs a punch but it’s really good. The aroma was not that great, thank goodness the flavor was pretty different from that. It smelled like it would be too sweet, and kind of gross. It wasn’t at all though...another good Eisbock down!
