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.

The myth. Pours clear, vibrant amber with a moderate, crisp, offwhite head. No retention, no lace. Smells sweet and rich just like port. Malty sweetness for sure. Tastes sweet and malty thick, some alcohol flavor, almost a slight scotch, peat, wood type flavor as well. Medium, syrupy body, good carbonation.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 2, 2008
A very prevalent sweet malted flavor, caramel nuts and so on- clear copper colour with a small sized white head. This beer is strong for the price and i recommend trying it.

armando629 (1938) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAY 31, 2008
Amber color and a small but delisicious head. Very fruity(raisins?) and liqueric aroma. The taste is liquric too, alcoholic, but it doesn’t hurt my palate. Flavour of raisins, honey, some tart and dry aftertaste. Syrupy beer warms me up...Hard one.

FunkyBrewster (1314) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 22, 2008
Sweet fruity aroma. Malty with notes of honey. Deep golden amber color. Off-white head. Strong fruit flavor, very rich with no bitterness. A bit of tartness in the finish. Full bodied and very sugary. Many a little too sweet but a good beer nonetheless.

TaxiDriver (1372) - Stadland, GERMANY - MAY 22, 2008
Bottle. Very malty smell, a little bit like molasses, moderate alcoholic. A small off-white fizzy head, fast and fully diminishing, a dark red body. Moderate bitter start and finish on the palate, average duration. Heavy alcoholic taste, medium to full body, oily texture and a flat carbonation.

KimJohansen (10337) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - MAY 22, 2008
[15 year old vintage - thanks a million Ungstrup] Hazy brown with tiny head. Sweet fruity aroma with malt, sherry and plums. Sweet flavor with dark overripe fruits, toasted malt, caramel and sherry notes.

17thfloor (2265) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - MAY 15, 2008
Pours a darker amber with a medium fluffy beige foam on top. Spicy fruity caramel malt aroma with notes of honey. Nice sweet rich dark malt flavor, brown sugar, honey, raisins, and german hops. Light and airy body that is also sticky. Covers the 11% pretty well.
