| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Pours a dark brown and black color with a thin tan film of head. Aroma is heavy odark roasted black patent and with a light late smokiness. Beer has a solid roasted flavor, light sweetness, coffee, caramel, and smoke notes also in there. Light body and low carbonation. Overall a bit light on the mouth feel but a decent flavorful beer. USCBeerMan (109), Columbia, South Carolina, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Apr 22, 2009 a light mouth feel beer that is a let down of expectation. A smokey coffee and wood sense that dissolves away after the initial sip. A disguised light beer. HonkeyBra (1361), Lemont, Illinois, USA

Flavor of chocolate, coffee, some smoke, heavily filtered, Thin mouthfeel, a bit fizzy, Not really worth revisiting. aaronhaywood (74), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Apr 17, 2009 A very smooth and drinkable dark lager. Tasted very nutty with a hint of smoke. For the money, I would probably get a more legit dark beer next time. DerBiermeister (523), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Apr 16, 2009 Smells of alcohol - the mark of a lesser cheaper beer, usually. The appearance is dark and pours with a short-lasting white head. The flavor tastes of roasted malts, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Pretty disappointing brew here. Probably best when served ice cold. snakeoilpete (324), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Bottle. Shiner night while watching the Rangers on TV. Pours dark brown with a fizzy beige head. Meaty smoke aroma, with some coffee-ish roasted malts. Similar taste. Bitter roasty finish with a slightly weird astringent mineral note. Still waiting for Vicente Padilla to hit someone with a pitch. coyotehunter (557), , Michigan, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Black pour, fizzy head that doesnt stick around. Smell is of bitter coffee and fresh peeled potatoes. Taste is marginally better, being of some coffee and maybe a hint of chocolate.Finish is kinda meh. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Sampled from the Shiner FAmily Reunion 6 pack: Poured a dark brownish black colour with a big fluffy tan head. Can’t get beyond the metallicy taste however. Little bit of coffee, little bit of toffee and im sure it’s something im wrong with- but pancakes are coming out of this brew.
