From its forceful aroma of the fruity essences of pears, apples and grapes to a character hinting at anise, pepper, vanilla and fruits gilded in a powdered sugary glaze. Brewed only once a year on December 6, Helles is aged for a full ten months before bottling. It may be hard to imagine doing much better than this golden, robustly toothsome brew, with a few more years under its belt, it grows in complexity and nuance – proving that not only wine can age magnificently gracefully.

Deanso’s bottle at cellar cleanout tasting. Amber with no head. Very sweet, tea, caramel, toffee. Very sweet, light bitter. Medium body, low carbonation, very sweet and long lingering finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus Helles on 18 Dec 2017 at 14:59 - Score: 7.

Bottle shared thanks to deanso. Dark, hazy ruby with a thin tan head. Notes of dried fruit, brandy, caramel, macerated fruit. Medium body, low carbonation and a sticky sweet finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Schloss Eggenberg Samichlaus Helles on 04 Aug 2016 at 22:59 - Score: 7
