Does not Taste like Christmas

I tried the Samichlaus at The Draft House near Tower Hill last night. It comes with a nice story about how it's only brewed once a year on December 6th and ages for 10 months before it's bottled. It also comes with a very syrupy consistency. I shouldn't have had it with my burger. The brewery recommends having it with dessert, especially chocolates, and advises that the brew matures in the bottle for years. I imagine that's true, but it certainly wasn't what I was looking for yesterday evening. There's a brief write-up on the burger experience here. The only thing I'd add to it is that the volume level in the place was horrendous.
