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.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2007 Amber colored, no head. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Flavor is almost like someone dump vodka into a dobbelbock. Somewhat sweet with an alcohol burn. Dry alcohol finish.

Had this tonight at Papago. Deep dark copper with a sweet malt aroma and flavor. Alcohol is heavy on the finish. Good for siping but much to sweet for me.

Pours nearly clear orange with a 1 finger, frothy beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel, sweet white bread rolls, cereal grain, sweet grass, woody notes, light sweet bread spice and hints of nut brittle. Flavor is sweet caramel, bread pudding, raisin puree, sweet hay, caramel coated granola, spicy hops, sweet bread spice, cereal grain, white bread crust, toasted nuts and anise. Palate is medium to heavy in body, a little syrupy on entry and pleasantly warm and slightly dry with alcohol after that and a moderate carbonation. Pretty tasty Eisbock, sweet and rich, but not overly so. Could be a little more complex and less hotly boozy though.

mephisto (1252) - TAIWAN - JUN 21, 2005
bottled, amber color and has no head. huge aroma of caramel and alcohol. full bodied, the taste of alcohol dominates a complex mix of various flavors. fairly drinkable given its abv, the balance between alcohol and other malt flavors is bold.

Clear with a head that disappeared by the time I set the bottle down, with lots of champagne like bubbles. The aroma is really sweet cherry frosting. Flavor is sweet, but not too cloying, very alcoholic with a sweet tobacco like finish.

11.2 oz. bottle, or something metric like that. I bought this one for a Malt Liquor tick, because it says Malt Liquor on the label. RB says otherwise. Orange with dense creamy head, although not as impressive as the marketing photo on the rate screen. Nose is caramel sweet hoppy and malty. Some high sweet citrus hiding up there too. Taste is big sweet and fuzzy. Wow. Lots of flavor there. Lots of alcohol. This’ll be tough to get down a full bottle myself.
