Dec 25, 2009 Thin black pour with robust (but quickly fading tan head). Nose is moderately roasty and appealing. Touches of toffee, brown sugar and caramel malt with decent roast. Thin-bodied and watery mouthfeel. Decent and easy-drinking quencher.

Dec 22, 2009 Poured dark brown with very little head. The aroma was light smoke, roasted malts and a touch of spice. The flavor wasn’t as good, with the smoky, roasted malts giving way quickly to a slightly off-putting citrus or sour flavor that didn’t fit in all that well. Thin body.

Dec 17, 2009 12 oz bottle: Aroma is bready, malts, a bit of smoke, licorice, caramel, caramel, and a very light coffee note. Appearance is a almost opaque black with a thin tan head that goes away quickly. Taste is caramel malts, coffee notes, roasted notes, and a continued breadiness. Aftertaste has a lingering malt characteristic that is enjoyable. Overall, nice brew from Shiner a very enjoyable Swartzbier. Cheers!

Dec 13, 2009 bottle pours black, with thin tan head and no retention. mostly smoke aroma, a little spice as well as alcohol too. Taste is a straight campfire smoke. not bad, not amazing, worth a try i guess.
