The latest issue of the Samichlaus series is a black beer. Also brewed on December 6, and at the age of 10 months. Black beer means "Black Beer" in German. It has aromas of spicy rye, dark oak and subtle smoke that balance very well with more bitter and aromatic hops than in earlier versions of Samichlaus. Bittersweet and complexity is what this new amazing recipe is all about.
