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.

YogiBeera (2436) - Hamburg, GERMANY - JUL 10, 2002
Barley malt rum aroma and taste, hints of marcipan. Red light amber. Strong alcohol taste. It’s more like a barley wine.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - AUG 26, 2003
Golden alcohol appearance, no head or lacing. Very bocky aroma with presence of alcohol, aroma has hints of blueberry pancakes I think. Flavor is full of sugery fruit flavors with that cherry bock background, flavor is alcoholic as well. This isn't that bad, I think a little underrated for it's flavor.

3fourths (6215) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - OCT 13, 2003
Bright orange/pink hue. Apple cider in the aroma, quite dry with a sugary sweet flavor of orange, and grapes. Warms the back of the tongue like a good distilled spirit.

WabashMan (924) - Noblesville, Indiana, USA - OCT 1, 2003
A nice dark orange/amber color with little head that is gone within a minutre or so starts off this beer. I have to agree with Oakes's Samichlaus reference, as the aroma is very similar. However, not quite as strong! Flavor is also "samichlaus-esque"...again not quite as strong. really, I think this beer has been treated harshly...the flavor is far from undrinkable, in my opinion. Not the best brew...but it has the potential to age very well, I think!

BeaverBrown (245) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAY 10, 2003
Reddish brown in color with barely a white head. Smells fruity and strong sweetness. Warming with a liquor flavor.

We had sampled both the exported version and the actual one that was from Germany.we all liked the American one better.Kind of had a spicy note to it with some sweet afternotes.

Fish (440) - Kure, British Columbia, CANADA - MAY 23, 2007
Had a bottle at the Root Bar in Swannanoa, which has a pretty decent selection of imports available. Poured a deep orange-amber color with a fluffy tan head. The alcohol in this beer is very prominent, which, honestly, was the reason why I chose this beer to begin with, so I was satisfied. Haven’t had too many Eisbocks, but it’s a style I’ll happily imbibe in the future.

bluevegie (2851) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - AUG 2, 2006
Kulminator, 23 May 2006. Raisins on the nose at first. Light reddy amber body with minimal head. Dried fruit in the aroma followed by alcohol. Medium to full body, syrupy sort of mandarin, caramel, sweet, syrupy but drinkable.
