Samichlaus

11.2 oz bottle, 2010 vintage.

    Deep rust color with good clarity. Small head with poor retention. A malt monster with plenty of dried fruit, caramel and toffee notes. The alcohol is solvent like at times which is a minus in my book. Adequate mouthfeel with strong alcohol sharpness to it. Somewhat bitter, which could be the alcohol.

    I'd enjoy it way more if it wasn't nailpolish remover like at times. Have a 5 yr vertical to find out how it develops.

4, 4, 4, 4, 4

PS: liking it more and more with warmth. Bumped the scores a little.
