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.

This was very syrupy and extremely strong. Almost like drinking straight whiskey. Stay clear if you are of the faint of heart.

Nuffield (3058) - Roseville, Minnesota, USA - OCT 12, 2003
Heavy alcohol aroma, sharply burning in my nose. Nevertheless I can sense apple cider, canteloupe, grape, and overall sweetness in the aroma. There is a fruit lollipop or Jolly Ranchers flavor, sharply sweet, with a late warmth on the middle of my tongue, just hanging there. There are attractive qualities that make this fun, even though some of those qualities might be thought of as flaws. Golden, clear color with little head on the syrupy body.

Gr0ve (1755) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUL 29, 2009
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.

Lubiere (6707) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 26, 2006
Golden reddish amber with a big bubbled white head. Vinous fruity aroma with pears and light hops. Sweet caramel in mouth, with notes of vanilla, licorice and oranges. Viscous bodied, rich and smooth in mouth, loud aclohol notes, remaining in mouth throughout! Excellent. Can from Piscator, from Manitoba.Merci Kris!

egajdzis (4549) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 17, 2005
UPDATED: JUL 6, 2005 Poured a reddish copper color with a small, white head that left spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of cognac, honey, sweet caramel malt, whisky, and alcohol. Sweet, more honey, nuts, caramel malts, whiskey, and alcohol as well.

ojclark (69) - Santa Monica, California, USA - MAY 3, 2005
UPDATED: MAY 4, 2005 Bottle. Roasty, malty, burnt caramel aroma with hints of vanilla, marzipan and slight alcohol. Clear amber/brown color with a thick tan head that lasted quite a while. Raisiny, malty, slightly sweet with some alcohol in flavor. Hop bitterness became apparent in aftertaste but was overshadowed up front. Effervescent with fine carbonation. Full bodied, almost chewy but not cloying. Medium finish with some alcohol apparent in aftertase along with bitterness and some sweetness. Big and complex but very well executed and well balanced.
