May 14, 2009 Notes: 12 fl oz bottle. An excellent beer to have with grilled fish. Goes down very smooth for a dark beer. A: Dark brown, almost black. Firm head. S: Smells of cereal and other grain. T: A hint of malt, cereal, and grian that is not to overpowered and not to subtle; Very small bitter taste for a black lager. Acts like a pale lager with characteristics of a dark lager. D: Excellent drinkability. Very smooth. Low bitterness for a dark beer.

Feb 1, 2008 Shiner makes some pretty beers. The bock is especially brilliant. Anyway, this black lager has a nice look, black like a porter but not as opaque. Not much of a head. Nice smell of hops and malts, almost caramel-like. I really liked the flavor. Malty with a bit of bite from the saaz hops. Finishes smooth like all good black lagers do. On tap at the Flying Saucer in Houston.

Dec 30, 2006 In a chilled mug: poured deep black with a smallish, tan head. Aroma dominated by malts and a slight sweet-sour undertone. Roast malts dominate, with a slightly dark chocolate bitter and a subtle sweet undertone lurking under the surface. It manages to stay very crisp and refreshing. I’m a bit puzzled by the pedestrian ratings I see here, because this beer was more than pleasant. Quite surprising. Kudos to Shiner. I guess there are some good things about Texas afterall.

Sep 28, 2006 Dark black color with amber highlights. Thin moutfeel and appearance. Thin head. Not great for style - flavor is thin, mouthfeel watery and not so dark. However, I I just think of BEER when I drink and not Schwarzbier or Black Lager, it is really enjoyable. Malty flavor with just a kiss of hops and extremely clean finish. Really enjoy this beer for a beer but isn’t that great of style. Finishes so clean you can drink it in Texas weather and not get bogged down. Would certainly buy again.

Nov 5, 2006 Bottle. I really liked this beer. Nice creamy head and very malty and smooth taste. My brother brought me some of this on his last visit. I wish it was sold around here.

Mar 7, 2008 Pours into a glass a dark, dark brown, almost black like cola. Has a very thin head. It’s a smooth, sweet coffee brew with a hint of chocolate finish. Somewhat bitter.
