Commercial Description:
The once strongest beer in the world is back ! Brewed only once a year on December 6. Samichlaus is aged for 10 months before bottling. This beer is perhaps the rarest in the world. Samichlaus may be aged for many years to come. Older vintages become more complex with a creamy warming finish. Serve with hardy robust dishes and desserts, particulary with chocolates, or as an after dinner drink by itself. Brewed under the exclusive licence of Feldschlösschen-Hürlimann-Holding, Switzerland.

Bottled 2004. Very strong of malt and alcohol. Had this at a German restaurant with bratwurst. Pours dark brown with a small head. Aroma of alcohol and malt. Taste is strong of alcohol, malt, plums and raisins.

Strong malt on this 07 version tried in 5/08. Nice sweet fruit, a little alcohol. This 2007 might be better aged; but it was good nonetheless. Sweet, but helluva beer for 14% abv. Smooth for 14%, malty and fruity.

Pours a clear gold with a white head that lasts only seconds. A malty floral aroma. A big flavor of alcohol and dry dark fruit. The alcohol is over done and dominates. Most of it will be poured out.

750 ml bottle from 07. Poured a brown gold. Definitely a whiskey type nose. The flavor had a malty sweetness, with a somewhat thin mouthful, but on the delicious side. Light carbonation makes it flow down your throat nicely and makes it easy to swallow despite the alcohol strength. The alcohol is noticeable, but not overpowering or biting.

pours a nice copper, with a quick diminishing beige head. Smells of raisins and alcohol. Flavor is nice and malty, real sweet and warming with alcohol, alcohol is present but not overbearing and then finishing bitter, well hold on a minute, the more i sip this the more i’m noticing an alcohol burn yea there it is! wheww spicy!

Bottle. Pours dark red with a thin beige head. Heavy fruity aroma with cherry, raisin, apricot and just a touch of alcohol. Flavor brings more of a plum and fig character, still with raisin and a touch of cherry. Alcohol is hardly detectable in the taste. Very nice.

2006 bottle. Poured thick, syrupy and clear, with no real hint of a head. Sweet, with very little hint of the alcohol. I sipped this for some time with a friend, made for a pleasant evening.
