Eggenberg Samichlaus 14% 330ml Bottle
✨ Free Shipping on Orders $200+ in VIC or $300+ Australia-Wide (Excl. NT)
Brewed only once a year on December 6, and is aged for 10 months before bottling. As a result, this dark lager is one of the rarest beer specialities in the world, and with 14% alcohol by volume, it is also the strongest of its kind. Samichlaus may be aged in the bottle for many years to come, as older vintages become more complex with a creamy warming finish. This beer is served best with sophisticated dishes and desserts, particularly with chocolates, or as a digestive by itself.
This iconic winter brew got its start in Switzerland and was more at home in long-forgotten cellars and lore before Schloss Eggenberg revived it for the ever-since fawning masses. Brewed only once a year on December 6th, Samichlaus is aged for a full 10 months before bottling. Aroma and palate match step-for-step with light malty notes of vanilla, toffee, chocolate, and oak – suggesting matured brandy in its character. At 14% ABV, this gem can be cellared for years to come, allowing its forceful flavour to grow in nuance and subtlety.
