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.

Exquisit one, I was very dizzy at the end of it but I liked it very much. It is dark and very alcoholic, with good head.

Very bold flavor smells like a fruity alcoholic syrup. Can taste the bite of high alcohol content, but the intense smell and flavor help cover it. Takes a few sips to adjust to such a different flavor, but at the end your feeling good and wanting more.

THOUGHTS: Had been waiting to try this beer for years, but couldn’t see paying over $20 for a 6 pack , but I finally found a single bottle for sale. It’s mostly just a bunch of alcohol, but it’s also full of flavors, so it’s not that bad, but not great either. A lot like Samichlaus, just not as good. Very liquor-like. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, dark amber with small to medium body particles of a thin density and an average-sized, off white head that mostly lasted and left good lacing. The aroma was heavy caramel, lost of alcohol, citrus, some fruitiness and whiskey notes. The initial flavor was moderately sweet; while the finish was heavily sweet and light to moderately bitter with an average duration. There was whiskey, caramel malt, citrus and then a little metallic hops with slight smoke too. The medium to full body was oily and a little syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a moderate to heavy alcoholic finish.

(GERMANY) Pours a nice amber / orange color with zero head. Has a flowery / alcohol aroma with a lingering fizzy body. The taste is strong, With malty, alcohol flavor and some hints of honey. The finish goes down very warm !!! Plus watch out for the 11% it could knock you for a loop. :)

Bottle thanks to footbalm. Pours a clear and dark amber with a thin white head. The aroma is very nice; tons of fruit, alcohol, rich malt and syrup. The taste is very smooth and nice; a rich fruit aspect, sweet candy, a toasted malt, and overall a pervasive warmth that I enjoyed. Very nice.
