Commercial Description:
Shiner 100 Commemorator is a rich and robust brew that is a fitting tribute to our legacy of 100 years of handcrafting stylish and flavorful beers. Commemorator is a bold style that would have been very familiar to Kosmos. One of the highlights of the Bavarian brewing year is the rollout of strong beer or starkbier, developed by monks as “liquid bread” to sustain them through the Lenten season. Commemorator is brewed in that Old-World tradition and embodies the German-Czech heritage Shiner has proudly stood for since 1909. This 17 % original extract dark lager is a blend of two row Munich and Caramel 60 malt mildly spiced with Bavarian Hallertau Tradition and Spalter Select hops to allow the toasted caramel flavor to predominate. Alcohol by Vol.: 6.7 % Original Gravity: 17.0 % Bitterness: 17 IBU Color: 30 SRM Real Degree of Fermentation: 60.7 %

By far the most ratebeer worthy product Shiner has produced. Aroma of sweet caramel, apples and plum. Sweet toastiness on the palate with a solid, lingering finish. Good drinkability for 6.7%....I may crush this 6 pack on a Wednesday night if I’m not careful.

Obtained from the Binny’s in Orland Park, Illinois: This pours a dark orange body with a creamy, short-lived off-white head. There were two small spots of lace left on the glass. It has an aroma of honey-coated toasted grain. Same with the flavor. Sticky sweet finish. This seems awfully lightweight to be called a Doppelbock.

Via trade. Pours a translucent dark copper with a thin head. The nose is sweet, malty, fruity, Belgian feel?. Flavor is similar, Belgian dopplebock almost, earthy fruity feel, sweet, caramely malt. Mild metallic bitterness. Not bad.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a thin off white head. The aroma was dark fruit and alcohol. The flavor was sweet honey, grain and an alcohol finish. This wasn’t any good. I had expected a little more.

Mahogany with a fitting topping. Some roasty notes greet the nose, but I was still unprepared for the sweet roastiness that greeted my lips. Strong dose of munich malting with distinct toasted caramel character. Reminds me more of a roasty dunkler bock or Italian-style doppelbock. I found this surprisingly enjoyable with a good amount of complexity. Quite quaffable.

Sampled thanks to sixfootsix. Wow, this actually isn’t as good as I was hoping. Clear dark amber pour with no head. Aroma of raisin, light alcohol, and grain. Honey, grain, and dark malt flavors. And alcohol. Pretty average.

Pours a nice medium brown color, not very much head, no lacing aroma is of sweet malts and grains lalmost sweet taste of malt and grains. Nice Beer, I am a fan of Shiner Bock, and this reminds me of it, just a little sweeter.

Good orange to ruby color, head’s a bit too thin, lack of malt for a doppel, also a bit dry for it’s type, finishes fairly well.
