Dec 10, 2008 tastes of water and carbonation, like cheap american beer . has some nice malted taste, but, really, making it dark isnt going to make up for very much.

Dec 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours dark mahogany with smallish beige head. The aroma is very sweet malt with lots of dark caramel and a few roasty hints. The flavor is even roastiness and ash over some mild sweet caramel. The finish is char and a little bit of earthy hops. The mouthfeel is a little on the thin side. Quite a bit of potential, but it does not quite get there.

Dec 3, 2008 Bottle.Beer pours very dark mahogeny color with ruby red highlights and a nice creamy beige colored head. Aroma is dark roasted malt with some light smoke. Flavor is malty, bready, with a very decent amount of smokiness. A very good beer as far as being from Shiner. Like the label.Drinkable but not special.

Nov 28, 2008 This one gets an appearance 5 simply because the label is awesome. The rest of it is a watery malty roasty bullshit bomb of a beer that makes me want to sleep instead of drink.

Nov 19, 2008 I drink everything cold although I let this one warm up a bit later to get a complete opinion. It is good although not great. Not too heavy..it has the darkness without some of the overpowering flavor components of similar beers.
