Aug 4, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. I was expecting more out of this puppy, but it wasn’t bad. It’s like Shiner always does - make a relatively common style and lighten it up for the normal guy.

Jul 30, 2009 Deep copper color with off-white head and good lacing. Malty flavor is lightly hopped and finished with a burnt caramel taste. A good doppelbock.

Jul 30, 2009 12oz bottle in a pilsener glass, this was on sale for $5 per sixer. Dark ruby red color, its got a pretty good malty aroma to it. The flavor is robust malts, fruity, nutty, a good dopplebock and for the price this really can’t be beat. I am going to have to give all of the other Shiner beers a go just to see what’s up.

2009 Vintage
7/27/2009: Shiner 100 Commemorator pours a brilliant deep copper color and has a samll beige crown that disappears somewhat quickly. The beer clean and clear with an average amount of carbonation. The aroma is a bit sweet and reminds me of French toast and with maple syrup and nuts (pecans?) and conjures up dried leaves. The flavor is quite average and lacking depth. It has some prune thin caramel, but there is a strong yeasty ribbon of flavor throughout that doesn’t seem to fit. The creamy, yeastiness builds more and more to the point that it just isn’t good. There really is no finish as the beer just seems to drop of and hit like a rock. It is moderately sweet with a medium-full body that has a creamy texture that is just a bit sticky. Overall this beer is okay and one bottle is more than enough.
12 fl. oz. bottle (twist-off cap, 6.7% Alc by Vol.) from Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield, Ohio. Rating #166 for this beer.

Jul 27, 2009 By far the best offering from Shiner, this is a very good dopplebock with nice color, aroma, sweetness, and balance.
You will enjoy this beer. Nice job!

Jul 26, 2009 Sampled at the MCBF. Pours a dark amber with a beige head. Fruity aroma, with some bready malts in the background. Flavors of caramel, fig newton, berry, and wet grains. A tame amount of Euro hops to balance it out. For Shiner, this is not bad. As far as Dopplebocks go, it’s average.

Jul 24, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium off white head. The aroma is moderately sweet malt, ripe fruit, toasted bread, and some earthy hops. The flavor is toasted bread, moderately sweet malt, fruity, mild earthy hops, and a slight medicinal quality. Medium bodied and fairly smooth. This is a step up from their regular offerings.
