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.
