Eggenberg Samichlaus Classic

Is 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 Classic 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.

Samichlaus Classic

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, oak – suggesting matured brandy in its character. At 14% ABV, this gem can be cellared for years to come, allowing its forceful flavor to grow in nuance and subtlety.
