Dec 25, 2008 Merry Christmas! And look, a present even before Santa got here - a one year aged Samichlaus Helles! A hale, Caribbean beach clear, amber gold body, a thin light snow of a head, and a scent of sugars - honey, brown sugar, caramel, corn syrup and apple juice. All of these sweets amplified tenfold in the taste, emboldened by a goodly volume of alcohol that makes it all go down with an ear-warming, impermeable to the outside vortex of cold type of smile. Not as good as the original, but the style is familiar. Merry Christmas everyone!

Dec 23, 2008 I saved this for a tasting because, frankly, I could not face this alone. extremely, uncomforatably viscous on the palate. Predicatably boozy and sweet. Not my thing.

Dec 21, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours a brilliantly clear with fair white head. Sweet burning vanilla alcohol aroma. Nice warming sensation. Good for a novelty, but too expensive. Reminds me of a high alc. hurricane

Dec 8, 2008 A clear amber colored beer, with a small beige head. It disappears quickly. The aroma of caramel, sweet malt and fruits. And alcohol. The taste is sweet, burny alcohol, spicey some pepper. There are notes of porto. The aftertaste is burney and a little bitter.
