Feb 25, 2009 Dark brown pour into thick foamy tan head that quickly dissipates into melting lacing on the glass that leaves no trace other than a slight ring of bubbles on the surface. Aroma of cold coffee, malty hops and roasted nuts. Initial flavor of smoky malt fading into a short lasting sweet chocolate, roasted caramel and hoppy finish.

Feb 20, 2009 Bottle - I enjoyed this more and more as I drank it. Earthy aroma. Subtle flavors in the initial taste which opened up to soft malt flavors with hints of vanilla and coffee. I think the light malt flavor really let the hops shine here. Excellent hop use in a schwarzbier.

Feb 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a fizzy off-white head. Aroma is of malt, grain, chocolate, and smoke. Taste is of toasty malt, grain, chocolate, and slight coffee. Has a very smoky flavor underneath it all. Mouthfeel is creamy, yet finishes very crisp. It drinks easy, but it just isn’t that good.

Feb 12, 2009 Dark brown with ruby highlights. Off-white head is initially large but is mostly diminishing. Grainy nose, some moderate roast, a bit of brown sugar and a fruitiness akin to green grape. Mildly roasty flavor initially, turning ever so slightly more grainy throughout the flavor profile. Definite metallic notes towards tail end. Finish is light roast and some sour, wet hay. Rather full bodied with light-to-moderate carbonation. Rather one-dimensional, and not a particularly good example of a schwarzbier.

Feb 11, 2009 First purchase after my move to the west coast, glad the proximity to Texas got me this purchase in the grocery store of all places! Pours dark, smells malty, tastes great. Shiner has yet to disappoint.
