Apr 11, 2008 12 ounce bottle at Old Chicago. Pours black with lots of bubbles and a light brown head. Light aroma of roast malts and noble hops. Again with some roasted flavor plus chocolate and a clean bitter finish. Medium body. Hight carbonation. Dry bitter finish. Nice enough.

Apr 3, 2008 Cool, a new shiner. Good or bad, it still has that ’shiner’ flavor inside it. More in the palate after you have a swallow, if youre use to the flavor of their bock this will seem similar. That drops the rating for me a bit, because I want something a little stronger, even though i love their beer. Going back to the strength, its not as strong as you might expect. Shiner has a way of packing alot of flavor into a beer, yet retaining a thin body. Some may like that, other may not, but the beer is a little to thin for this style. Its basically a SamAdams black lager, but not as good. Im still rating it fairly high, because its damn good no doubt, I just expected a little more.

Mar 28, 2008 Poured a little lighter than expected, more of a caramel color. Exhibited sweeter notes but still was quite enoyable, would buy again.

Mar 27, 2008 Black-red with a head that quickly fades leaving a dark cola appearance. Dank saaz hop aroma though crisp. Easy malt and European hop flavors meld together. Easy-drinking, mildly pleasant.

Mar 27, 2008 This beer should be better. I am a fan of schwarzbier, and while this one is decent (it beat’s the very common Kostriker hands down and the Rahr is terrible!), it doesn’t stand up to Schulteiss or even the Sam Adams Black Lagers. A little bit too much roasting going on here. A little burned, , which gives this a not so pleasant after taste. Still good though, and Shiner should keep this around.

Mar 16, 2008 Light aroma of rye bread, malt and chocolate. Pours an almost black color but head disappates pretty quickly. Chocolate and malt but with a little chalkiness. Acidic and watery.
