Dec 25, 2009 Thin black pour with robust (but quickly fading tan head). Nose is moderately roasty and appealing. Touches of toffee, brown sugar and caramel malt with decent roast. Thin-bodied and watery mouthfeel. Decent and easy-drinking quencher.

Dec 22, 2009 Poured dark brown with very little head. The aroma was light smoke, roasted malts and a touch of spice. The flavor wasn’t as good, with the smoky, roasted malts giving way quickly to a slightly off-putting citrus or sour flavor that didn’t fit in all that well. Thin body.

Dec 19, 2009 Pours brown, dark brown in the glass with a good peige head that leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is quite weak. Flavor is light roasted malts, some caramel, a bit of chocolate and coffee. Mouthfeel is thin with low carbonation. Inoffensive.

Dec 17, 2009 12 oz bottle: Aroma is bready, malts, a bit of smoke, licorice, caramel, caramel, and a very light coffee note. Appearance is a almost opaque black with a thin tan head that goes away quickly. Taste is caramel malts, coffee notes, roasted notes, and a continued breadiness. Aftertaste has a lingering malt characteristic that is enjoyable. Overall, nice brew from Shiner a very enjoyable Swartzbier. Cheers!

Dec 13, 2009 bottle pours black, with thin tan head and no retention. mostly smoke aroma, a little spice as well as alcohol too. Taste is a straight campfire smoke. not bad, not amazing, worth a try i guess.

Nov 30, 2009 Chocolate and coffee on the nose, big dark and handsome in the glass with a nice tan head. Nice chocolate and roasted malt on the tougue. Medium sweetness with a light touch of bitterness. Loses some points for palate, light bodied and thin in texture, highly carbonated, with a abrupt clean finish. If I am looking for a few good beers, this is one to have. If I am looking for one good beer, this ain’t it.
