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.

Big malts, very sweet, but with a potent alcoholic finish that somewhat detracts from the beer.

One of the two styles that are still lacking in my beer list: Eisbock. Amber coloured. Malty aroma with rye. Pretty sweet brew, and the alcohol isn’t even that obvious. And so now i only have to drink a cream ale...

red amber color, carbonation dwindles fast. tastes like very heavy sherry - im not a big fan of the really strong beers.

Rich aroma of dark fruit - raisins, plums. Dark sherry color (and I thought that before reading the description). The white head flattened immediately. Medium bodied. Creamy carbonation. A bit of heat. Lots of darkish fruits. Indeed it is in the fortified wine range for flavor, though not for alcohol. Consider that this has the alcohol of those high gravity lagers, but notice the quality of the flavors - relatively speaking. The finish is smooth, neither sweet nor dry. Ends with caramel. Very impressive. It could pass for a Belgian ale, with the right presentation. It took some effort: "Malt concentration was doubled or tripled (the exact formula still remains secret), giving the yeasts more fuel for conversion to alcohol. Above all, since stunned yeast can only work very slowly in the presence of high alcohol levels, this beer would have to be given a lot of time. In fact, it had to be fermented in cold storage for an unheard of nine months! " A work of the brewer’s art.

papajohn (1232) - San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA - SEP 9, 2006
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.

The Etruscan (385) - Tuscany, ITALY - SEP 17, 2004
Almost no head. Amber color. Aroma is malty, fruity with light caramel, alcohol and a few nutty and tobacco notes. Flavor is malty too with dark fruits and light alcohol tones, ending in a sweet and moderately spicy finish. Full bodied.
