I was just in Prague and had the original, and it is wwaaaayyyy superior to the garbage that my dad drinks. Well here’s the same stuff that is now being imported by AB and marketed as Czechvar. What a scam, and it’s sure to be a success as it is awesome.</blockquote> http://www.flickr.com/photos/31001456@N02/3860831061/

]]> Comment on EKU 28 by Roger Davis http://www.98bottles.net/eku-28/comment-page-1/#comment-36 Roger Davis Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:35:20 +0000 http://www.98bottles.net/?p=278#comment-36 This is a beer that will challenge your taste buds. When I was stationed in Germany back in the 80s I enjoyed trying out the beers in each community I visited. The first time I came across this one was after night out drinking and dancing when we decided to stop in at an after hours place and I asked for a dark beer. At first the bartender told me they didn't have dark beer and I was like you have got to be joking right, this is Germany, everyone has dark beer. Eventually he said we do but it is expensive. I told me I didn't care, I had been drinking dark beer all night and I wasn't going to switch now. So he hands me bottle of EKU 28 and I check it out and read the back label and at that time in printed in english said "World's Strongest Beer"! Needless to say I spent the next 2 hours trying to drink that beer managing to only finish half of it before calling it a night. After coming back home, I managed to find a place that sold a 6 pack of them so grabbed a pack to show off to my friend. I never did get past drinking more than half a beer and my friend actually finished one but cut it with a Michelob in order to finish it and he is full blooded German who loves beer. Regarding the review, I don't get the sweet aroma and fruity bit, but I totally agree with the viscous and syrupy and I will throw in strongly bitter. Definitely a beer to try once so you can experience the extremes in beer drinking. This is a beer that will challenge your taste buds.

As soon as I got home I went to the supermarket and bought myself a 6 pack of it! I loved it. A little sweeter than the bock but definately very drinkable.
