Apr 21, 2009 Don’t hate it because it’s Shiner...this wasn’t half bad!!! In fact, I enjoyed it. Still easy drinkin’, but much bolder and flavorful than others from the brewery. Crimson tinted chestnut pour with a 1/2 inch eggshell head. Caramel, brown sugar, toffee, and biscuit in the nose. Flavor also exhibits a sweet, yeasty, and honey-like character. A little thin but still would drink it. Who am I kiddin’, I’d drink ANYTHING!!!

Apr 20, 2009 Tasted 4/20/09. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a deep ruby hue. Ring of beige head. Sweet cinnamon bread aromas. Toffee and slightly doughy. Medium to full bodied with a solid malt punch. Finishes dry with a chalky note. Bright blast of astringency and a fluke burn. Mild and smooth, then the effervescence really adds a dimension. Tangy and bitter. Rich malty flavors. Bready and woody. Stickiness opens up as the beer warms. Decent

Apr 19, 2009 Good effort from a brewery that makes easy drinking, if not very complex, beer. A little nostaglia creeps in every time I have a Shiner, so I tend to be generous when rating. Nice dark, coppery pour. Very sweet, bready nose. I agree with beerguy101, this feels like a bigger beer made on a Shiner Bock body. For me, that’s a good thing. A little sweetness goes a long way here and it does linger. Send your money to Texas!

Apr 17, 2009 Sampled on 4/17.2009. This dopplebock pours a reddish gold color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, with decent lacing. The aroma is cereal, caramel and sweet. A medium bodied dopplebock. The malts are caramel and sweet, touch of grain. The hops are earthy. This beer kind of reminds me of a ramped up version of Shiner Dock. It also seems to be a little bit under carbonated. The malts aren’t very sweet for a dopplebock, it’s missing a big malt backbone so it is very underwhelming. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Apr 14, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly thin brownish red with a thin fluffy head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with some some grains. Taste is a little sweet, bready with little hints of noble hops. A little thin, but not terribly bad doppelbock.

Apr 14, 2009 Updated: Apr 15, 200912 oz. bottle. So 100 years of brewing and they decide to commemorate the occasion by brewing a skunky, slightly stronger version of Shiner Bock? (which, by the way, is erroneously called an ALE on the six-pack’s hangtag!)
Ice cold, this beer is nearly flavorless, but bready, buscuity malts reveal themselves slightly upon warming. The hops impart some flat vegetal bitterness without adding any flavor. The mouthfeel is watery and fizzy, like seltzer. This could have been passable, but running through is a metallic flavor that distracts from the beer’s few good qualities.

Apr 11, 2009 I poured an inch and a half puffy head that dissipated to a ring with barely any legs. Head was off-white with a brown-amber, clear body. Aroma is caramel and that smell when you cut the top off a pumpkin and stick your nose inside and inhale. Pumpkin rind and guts, not fruity pumpkin. Taste is caramel, a little roast and toast, and a little metallic on the finish.

Apr 11, 2009 Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma is somewhat full with roasted malts, crystal malts, a touch of caramel and grains. The taste is pretty bright with roast malts to sweet malts then crystal malts and caramel. To follow up those notes is a dose of lager yeastiness. I get a bit of metallic twang in there as well.
