11.2 oz bottle ($2.49) from Holiday Wine Cellar: Orange-amber color with a medium off white head that fades to nothing fast. Aroma is rich ripe fruit with a metallic background. Flavor is rich with over ripe peach/apricot, some honey and a light spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied and smooth with moderate carbonation. Metallic aorma dissapaited and alcohol became more proment as it warmed.

$2.99 at Country Club Liquors; Caramelly, malty nose with some peachiness; copper with a beige ring of bubbles around the edge; flavor tastes like a whiskey mixed with berries, very unusual, like nothing else I’VE tasted,

Never had head as big as the picture when I poured it. I thought this was pretty good actually. Comes off pretty heavy, but with a different and pleasant taste. A bit expensive but nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Dark copper colored. Very sweet flavor with a light spiciness. The malt characteristics where very complex and the alcohol was very high.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
This started out promising, but was reallly not very good. Poured to a brownish red, with medium tan head and had an aroma of malty dark fruit. Unfortunately, the head dissipated almost immediately, and left zero lacing. In addition, as beer warmed, the 11% alcohol became the overwhelming aroma and taste, so thatg by the end, I felt like I was drinking some cheap rock-gut or moonshine. Not impressed with EKU 28.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours with an amber color and a fairly small head. The aroma is dominated by malts and caramel. Flavor is sweet, the alcohol is noticeable, and agains a very dominat malitness that is no offset by any hops. It could be cloying if drank too warm but with the right temperature it is quite nice.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33cl bottle: This one pours a fairly clear amber color, with a fair amount of off-white head. That drops off quickly to leave a glass with no lacing. The aroma is a bit sweet. Mainly notes of caramel and raisins to the nose. Possibly some other fruits and a bit brown-sugary also. There is a flatness to the taste: the carbonation is already gone. The taste is a bit of caramel malts and some dark fruits. Maybe a hint of oakiness in there also. Not bad.
