Flaske. Meget gennemtrængende alkohol i denne ellers meget flotte rødlige øl. Godt bid i enden, men en klart dominerende maltsmag med toner af mandel. Men ellers er der ikke meget godt at sge om denne øl.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
330 ml bottle. Copper colour. Crystal clear. Small off-white head. Caramel aroma with hints of toffee. Feels sweet initially, but the body is relatively light making the beer quite easily drinkable. Oily texture. Hints of honey, white pepper and leather. I guess it is the bitterness that cuts through most of the residual sugars. Nicely balanced, and surprisingly drinkable.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2007 Particolarissima e, a modo suo, inimitabile, la EKU 28 è stata bersaglio di innumerevoli critiche dovute al suo tasso alcolico e, soprattutto, alla sua incredibile dolcezza; tuttavia è tutt’altro che una birra da fighetti alcolici. Una bevanda "difficile", che non guarda in faccia l’abituale consumatore tanto quanto non si preoccupa dei gusti dell’esperto e forse per questo attira l’attenzione di entrambi. Aspetto ambrato/rosso carico, con scarsa schiuma poco persistente, aroma dolcissimo, malto malto malto malto malto e ancora malto. Sapore follemente sbilanciato sul dolce, con complessità di miele e chiodi di garofano; una birra commerciale estremamente coraggiosa e, anche solo per questo, apprezzabile; se poi ci aggiungiamo che non è niente male, allora siamo a posto.__________________________ENGLISH TEXT HERE________Very particular and - in its own special way - inimitable, EKU 28 has been the spot of countless critics due to its high alcohol percentage and to its incredibile sweetness; anyway, it’s very far from a ’alcohol teens’ beverage. In fact it’s a very ’difficult’ brew, which doesn’t look in the eye the everyday consumer and doesn’t care for the expert’s taste and maybe that’s why it catches the attention of both worlds. Appearance is amber/dark red, with short lasting little head; aroma is very sweet: malt, malt malt, malt, malt, malt, malt and then... malt! Flavor is madly unbalanced, with complexity of honey and cloves; an extremely daring ’commercial’ beer and - even just for this fact - very enjoyable; if you add that it’s not bad at all, then you have the sum of the parts.

Pours a nice clear coppery-red with a fairly thick, pale yellow head that does not stick around. Aroma is strong and more fruity than malty, not at all like a beer with such a high alcohol content. Flavor has a fairly fierce but not overwhelming alcohol bite; taste is mainly sweet and fruity with an undertone of caramel, more like liquor than beer. Aftertaste is sweet without being cloying.
