Brewer's Description: "Samichlaus Bier One of the rarest beers in the world, brewed only once a year on December 6th, subsequently fermented and matured for about 10 months before bottling in October. Thus Samichlaus is a vintage beer and with around 14 % of alcohol by volume the strongest bottom-fermented lager in the world. Samichlaus may be aged in the bottle for many years to come. Older vintages become more complex with a creamy warming finish. Serve with hardy robust dishes and desserts, particularly with chocolates, or as an after dinner drink by itself - as a companion for meditations at the fireplace... Samichlaus is filled in personalized 330 ml. bottles, exported to exclusive distribution partners' worldwide mainly through pre-orders prior to bottling in October each year.

Incredibly clear and crisp, it's not nearly as heavy as other beers with an AVB above 10%. Very one dimensional but definitely worth a try.

It seems that this beer is strong just for the sake of being strong rather than adding to the taste. I have never done the straight shot wince with a beer until this one. The only think I like about this was the fact that it got me loaded and quickly...
