This beer makes a lasting impression! Thick and malty like a syrup. Definately not for the timid. I just wish BevMo would sell single bottles and NOT 6 packs only!

Poured a brownish red amber with soft white head. Sweet fruit like aroma with some alcohol tint. Sweet caramel or honey flavor was subsided by an alcohol burnt malt flavor.

Rated Feb. 2007. 11.2oz bottle poured a clear copper with off white head that vanished in seconds. Nice strong malty and dark fruit aroma. I get semi sweet caramel, dates, plums, alcohol and a slight hint of olives. This has a nice rich mouth feel. At the start I get a slight hint of olive, some tasty caramel and solid dark fruitiness. By midway the caramel sweetens and builds. Beyond midway the fruitiness takes over somewhat with growing alcohol warmth in the background. All of the flavor notes listed on the label really came true for me. This beer just reached out and gave me a warm hug.

EKU 28 has a thin, beige head and a clear, amber appearance, with some lacing and tiny streaming bubbles. The aroma is rich: heavy, sweet, caramel malt, toffee, vegetable, sugar, and grain. Taste is alcohol forward, with a background of sugar, caramel candy, black bread, and syrup. There is also a little bit of bitterness, but not much. Mouthfeel is thick, sticky, and heavy, and EKU 28 finishes mostly dry and boozy.

A huge malt bomb with tons of fizz to make it go down easy. Smells of caramel, butter, sugar and alcohol. Flavor is more of the same sticky sweetness, a slow sipper to be sure, like a good barley wine.

Deep brownish-copper pour with absolutley no head, lacing or carbonation. Strongly sweet with intense vanilla and malts. A winter beer, no doubt. Alcohol is masked fairly well. Oddly sticky to the pallette.

Pours clear dark copper, no head. Mouth is alcohol and sweet. Flavor is interesting - definitely a winter warmer. I think this might go well with the right cigar.

THis beer will supposedly stand in for sherry or port......not based on my experiences with sherry or port. A clear copper coloured beer with a generous head. Sweet malt, hops, sugar, and alcohol are all in the aromatic mix. A little sweet in the end, with a mid bitterness, not something to drink every day.
