Jan 25, 2009 12oz bottle from Total Wine (Tampa, FL). Pours a murky dark brown to black color with a thin tan head. Aroma is roasted and malty with notes of barnyard funk, chocolate, some notes of ripe dark fruit. Flavor is much of the same with a sour wet-dog, barnyard flavor that is hard to move beyond. Generally light to medium body with a sour malty finish. Didnt like this one from Shiner.

Jan 21, 2009 Fairly light schwarzbier with a nice roasted flavor, some nuttiness and a little chocolate. Pretty easy drinking beer without a ton of flavor but enough to keep things interesting. Not bad.

Jan 21, 2009 I suppose this would be a great gimmick for lovers of Shiner Bock. Pours with a tan head, Not much aroma. What is there is just some old world lager oder. Tastes like any ordinary macro lager with maybe..just maybe a hint of roastiness. That little bit does count, as it sets it apart. Still very think and not enough flavor for my liking.

Jan 20, 2009 Very dark brown clear body with garnet highlights. Light roast and chocolate nose. Some vegetal nuttiness in the flavor, and a chocolate twinge. Medium thin body is a little watery with moderate carbonation. Nice surprise here. About the same as 1554.

Jan 19, 2009 12 oz. Just shy of opaque with a small spit of a head that completely disappears in a few minutes. Aroma is scorched caramel, coffee and hints of dark chocolate. Initial flavor is grilled corn, scorched grain and apple. Nice finish of sweet-toasted grain, coffee and bitter chocolate. Light-medium body is watery, a little too airyl, but finishes with a nice roast-dryness.

Jan 18, 2009 This is a beer that I like to keep on supply in my fridge. It pours dark with an unaggressive head. The flavor is of toasted malt and it is medium bodied.
