Well, I tried the Samichlaus Bier. Yuck! It was nasty. I suppose if you like a sweet, syrupy beer it may be ok, but it actually nauseated me. I usually can choke down a brew, especially one that cost $4 a bottle, but I had to pour it out. Even the other guys who were at my house couldn't drink it. But in all fairness, I think it would be a good beer to cook with. I like my Bratwurst simmered in this type of beer. It would probably be good in a really hot chili too. I didn't think of that till just now or I would have cooked something instead of tossing it. But the taste just about ruined my night. I had to pop a Steinlager and drink it fast to get the other taste out of my mouth haha. And also, it did look down right beautiful in the beer glass, a nice light brown, creamy head reminiscent of meringue. Oh well, live and learn. I can mark that one off my "Hmm, this looks interesting" list. Hank L.
