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 %

Nose: sweet vegetal malts consume the nose. Stewed carrots, celery and broccoli along with medicinal/chemical notes. Thick, syrupy, overly sweet. Twang, especially in the finish, is horrid. Sweetened aspirin and caramel. Terrible.

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.

Amber to orange in color with a moderate dissipating, light beige, bubbly head. Pour head retention. Caramel and pale malt aromas. candy kind of caramel, not a rich malt caramel. Slight herbal and plastic components as well. A bit to thin in feel and heavier carbonation. Toasted malt, caramel and some tin in the flavors. The metals not as bad as from a pineapple can, but I do remember the cheap old beer cans. I would be slightly more forgiving if this was listed as a bock, but still too many weak links.
