JCannery82 (3), , Alabama, USA does not count | 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jun 12, 2008 Nothing to it. Smelled great and looked menacing but tasted more like a Michelob ultra with some food coloring. May have been too cold but don’t think I’ll give it another whirl. specksnreds (55), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 12, 2008 A session "big" beer? Nice toasted malt on the palate. Nice carbonation and an easy drink. Pretty good. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 11, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours black with rimming, off white head produced from quickly dissipating half-finger foamy topper. Nose is mild chocolate and coffee with a touch of caramel. Taste is a caramel base with some mildly astringent roasty characters and a touch of chocolate. Slight earthy, grassy hop flavor towards the end with a crisp finish. Slight metallic taste. Not great, but not bad. tedovertu (260), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Bottle, Smells much better than it actually tastes. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. Very little off white head. Black amber color. Very boring for being such a good looking and smelling beer. Texture is too dry. Very dissapointing. JFGrind (1352), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Picked up a six-pack in Delaware and was surprised to see Shiner products in the Diamond State. Roasted malt aroma and flavor, light bitterness, little caramel malts as well. I enjoyed Bohemian Black Lager, it packed a lot of flavor and was a good value. PickettsCharge (68), USA
