Ist Samichlaus nicht der Weihnachtsmann? Passt auf jeden Fall gut in die stade Zeit. Optisch Cognac. In der Nase sehr würzig, malzig, Trauben. Im Trunk unfassbar blumig, sehr sehr süß, fast schon Likör, sehr cremig. Muss man nippen. Keine Spur alkoholisch. Passt zum Dessert, eine Flasche ist eigentlich zu viel, sollte man sich teilen.

(330ml 2012 bottle from the LCBO, consumed ~9 years after bottling) Pours basically clear deep copper to mahogany with a tiny rapidly dissipating whitish head. Aroma of rye bread soaked in treacle, golden raisins, some dried red berries, subtle nutty roasty. Flavour of layered fortified sugars, again bread or sweet bun dough with some cereals, raisins and figs, touches of sweet sherry oxidation, cola undertones from middle to finish, a bit of cacao and toasty notes, mineral dark lager crispness, long lingering tones of lightly terrified sugars, tawny port and toasty lightly bitter earthy grains. Warming alcohol but not hot by this date. Medium-bodied, oily towards syrupy, very low carbonation. Surprisingly solid for the age and relatively poor storage conditions it was held in (abandoned somewhere in my parents' furnace room), this has smoothed out all the booze and while it's too sweet by the end of a half-bottle it makes a nice replacement for port/sherry.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Boozy and quite sweet with a sweet malty aroma. Caramel, alcohol, sugary dried fruits. Long sweet boozy aftertaste, sticky mouthfeel. Medium to full body. I can sip on this but it's way, way too sweet.

Bottle via an online peddler. Can’t recall which one. So this is the OG? Could definitely warrant a 500ml can I’d say, for the full effect. Spidery and gluey. Proper bad breath gear. Absolutely no idea what I’m on about. So there’s that.
