Commercial Description:
A Bohemian Black Lager is a rare and delicious style of beer, referred to in Germany as "Schwarzbier". Shiner Bohemian Black Lager remains true to this old-world style by using imported Czech Saaz and Styrains Hops and select roasted malts to make it our darkest beer. First brewed to commemorate our 97th anniversary, this Bohemian Black Lager remains true to the old-world heritage of the German and Czech immigrants that settled Shiner. Prosit!

Another very drinkable beer from Shiner. The chocolate and coffee flavors were very noticable. But, like all Shiners, it was watery and a tad thin. For Americans, a great beer though :) This one is a step ahead of all their other offerings save for the Dunkelweissen. It goes well with food but is not an after-dinner-beer, imo.

This black beer poured with a thin tan head, eliciting a strong malty aroma. The flavor is pretty thin for a dark malty brew, but it is mellow and reasonably tasty.

Jan. 2007 - Pour was chestnut brown with nice head which dissipated quickly. Aroma was strong coffee with a touch of chocolate. Flavor was a coffee infused lager with hints of chocolate. Not extremely full or rich, but nice nonetheless.

Bottle. Dark brown with thin, very light brown head. Smells and tastes lightly of chocolate and coffee. Somewhat nutty, quite thin, but still good.

Good choice at Big Shucks for some fried oysters. Weak chocolate aroma and flavour. Bit of sweet caramel malts. An enjoyable bit of nutty.

Found this one bottled at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear, very dark brown pour with a wispy head, Sweet, malty nose, with a hint of coffee. Malty and yeasty taste, very nice, with a little bitterness. Very good all around.

Bottle. Pours ruby-brown with thin brown head. Nose is caramel, grainy, slightly raw smelling malt, a tiny touch of coffee, with lightly herbal and grassy hops. Flavor is toffee and lightly tosted bread, light sourness and very mild herbal hop flavors and a touch of bitterness. Also getting hints of metal. Palate is bubbly with some fullness, but overall little bit too thin and watery. Pretty good for this brewery and a interesting interpretation of the style.
