| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 11, 2007 12oz bottle pours light brown with a short tan head. Aromas of caramel malts, a touch of chocolate, brown sugar, raisin, and a little bit of molasses. Flavor is caramel sweetness. Lots of malty flavors, some molasses, and a little raisin. Overall this tastes pretty good to me but it doesn’t taste much like a dunkelweizen. Not much in the way of bannana clove and bubblegum there. More like a winter warmer to me but it isn’t bad just doesn’t fit the style. Medium body with a dry finish. Pretty drinkable though and one of the better shiners i’ve tried..

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 10, 2007 From the bottle courtesy of santa, pours a dark brown with a bit of redness to it and a thin but resiliant white head and pretty decent lacing. Malty, earthy aroma. Kind of disappointed in the lack of taste in this one. Cold or luke-warm, there’s just a bit of maltiness for flavor. As it warms further, there’s a bit of chocolate in there, but not much. lagerguzzler (5), Saginaw, Texas, USA does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 29, 2006 I always look forward to this winter seasonal form the Little Brewery in Shiner. I been a fan of this beer since the days of it’s original name Shiner Winter Fest. Nice malty feel and taste with a slight cocoa finish. BelgianBeerGal (1324), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 29, 2006 Bottled. Biggest impression was the (over)carbonation, straight from the pour. Decent dunkel but the flavors seemed fairly light and muted. Jayb0 (752), Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 27, 2006 I didn’t love it. ghastly sweet up front is something I just can’t get past. mellows towards the end and reveals a few nice flavors. Hazmatt (363), Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 24, 2006 Bottle. Light amber color, Thin bodied. Sort of bland caramel flavor. Crisp from carbonation. Mediocre. Hangover (771), Atlanta, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 21, 2006 Dark brown with a quickly receding tan head. Banana with a mild sweetness to the aroma. Heavily carbonated. Bread and roasted malts with a bit of chocolate creeping in towards the finish. Decent dunkel but too carbonated and the flavors are too mild. ilikestuff (222), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2006 Pretty plain tasting wheat, but what can you expect from some lager guys. Not nealr as dark tasting as it is looking, a little dissapointing, and a little keg tasting, even from the bottle.
