Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus is an exceptionally strong and malt-forward beer with 14% alcohol by volume. It is one of the strongest bottom-fermented beers in the world and is brewed only once a year in December. The taste is intense, full-bodied, and sweet with notes of caramel, dried fruits, and a hint of chocolate. The slow maturation over several months gives the beer an exceptionally smooth texture and a complex aroma profile. Samichlaus is ideal as a specialty beer for special occasions or as a companion to hearty dishes and desserts.
