Festive beer number 23 Samichlaus beer is brewed only once a year on December 6 and is aged for 10 months before bottling. Samichlaus is one of the rarest beer specialities in the world and at 14%, it is 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.

Festive beer number 22 Samichlaus Barrique is a Doppelbock from Austrian brewery, Schloss Eggenburg. Samichlaus beer is only brewed once per year, on Saint Nicholas Day (6th December). The beer is aged for 10 months in Austrian oak barrels, imparting a complex, woody flavour into the beer. At 14% ABV, Samichlaus Barrique offers up aromas of roasted chestnuts, dark, dried fruits and smoked malt. The first sip reveals an intense, sweet and malty brew, with a dry finish.

Festive beer number 21 is Krampus (2023) by Tartarus. Very boozy and a marzipan flavour.
