Sep 13, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a clear, dark amber with a short off white head. Aroma of toasty malts with light caramel and dark fruit. The flavor has some nutty caramel sweetness with subtle hints of dark fruit, cinnamon, and a slightly spicy finish. Very smooth and malty with a decent body.

Sep 12, 2009 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a transparent typically carbonated copper brown colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was mild malty and doughy. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of deep caramel and floral hops. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

Sep 9, 2009 amber pour with a thick tan head
Aroma is earthy toasted maltiness, caramel, some light nutty brown bread tones and a hint of fruitiness.

Sep 4, 2009 Bottled. Poured clear reddish-amber with a short cap of beige head. The aroma picked up dry-roasted caramel, red rice, and a bit of redder fruit accented by a touch of earth.. very sweet overall. The flavor had similar caramel to the nose and toasty molasses at the core (but weak and not very flavorful malts here).. some dry, chalk and berry bitterness around.. short finish with tacky caramel and molasses. Lighter-medium bodied and tacky on the palate with not very good flow to it.. I didn’t find any serious flaws in this, but it surely wasn’t enjoyable.

Aug 30, 2009 Bottle Interesting pour, rusty red with a nice big airy head. Drinks with a distinct sugary essence, with the 6.7% evident in every sip. But it’s pretty drinkable, particularly with a salty snack. (#3655, 8/30/2009)

Aug 28, 2009 12oz bottle acquired in trade. Poured a medium copper color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, some roastiness, nutty, and a little earthy. Tastes of caramel, lighter toasted nuttiness, and lightly fruiity. Thinner but creamy body.

Aug 25, 2009 Clear copper appearance with a medium size, fast fading, off white head that left little lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma overwhelmes just about everything except for a bit of seasonal spices. Earthy flavors of dark fruit, toffee and molassas. Might not be a shining example of a doppelbock, but a good showing for Shiner.
