hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and dark fruit character as Samichlaus Classic. 'The world's strongest lager' — originally brewed by Hürlimann in Zürich from 1979, revived by Schloss Eggenberg in 2000 using the original recipe. Brewed once a year on December 6th (St Nicholas's Day) and lagered 10 full months. Mahogany coloured with a massive nose of dark fruit, caramel, and leather. Rich, complex, and dangerously smooth for 14%. 'Incredibly sweet, it masks the ABV with notes of caramel and toffee.' Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
