Commercial Description:
Shiner Dunkelweizen is a crisp, hearty brew modeled after a Bavarian-style dunkelweizen, German for dark wheat. Shiner Dunkelweizen is fermented with an old-world technique called Kräusening, brewed to be smooth and rich without being heavy on the palate. Its subtle flavors come from the brew’s malted wheat and malted barley. This beer uses the old Czech mashing technique of taking small portions of the mash and boiling, then mixing it back in the main mash. This technique, called ‘decotion’, takes a great deal more time... but develops the rich dark color and creates the body which is enjoyed in the finished beer.

(Bottle) Pours dark brown with a beige head. Malty aroma and taste, with some chocolate notes. Pretty balanced though. Not really a typical dunkleweizen, but a pretty interesting and refreshing beer. One of the better beers from Shiner.

Pours brown with reddish hints and a nice size light brown head. The flavor aroma has a light wiff of banana and a more dominant roasted malt. The flavor has a slight roastiness and finishes with a moderate body.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a huge light brown head that diminished slowly and produced excellent lacing. Good roasted malty aroma. Medium body with a thin texture. Good malty balanced flavor with an average finish. Soft drinkable brew.

Bottled. Light chestnut brown color with a short-lasting tan head. The aroma was barely perceptable, but of mildly tangy malt. The flavor was fuller and bolder than I expected based on the arome, but that’s not saying much. Decently hoppy and balanced. It had a medium-to-light body. Overall not a bad beer, but can’t hold a candle to some of the top quality Dunkelweizens.

My least favorite of the Shiner family, of course, this also could be that I just don’t particularly enjoy the style.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a fizzy dark brown color with a small khaki head that faded quickly. The aroma was moderate roasty malts and a hint of chocolate. The flavor was tangy and bitter with a slightly roasty middle and a light dry chocolate element on the finish.

Medium amber with copper highlights, small but decent head. Aroma lightly of wheat, a hair of green apple. Flavor has a bit of very light caramel, a note of bread, very faint clove tries to peak in, but perhaps that was my imagination. Not bad, but not great. Sort of has that "starter beer for beginners" feel. But the carbonation is a bit harsh perhaps for that to really work.

Actually not a horrible beer. Body is brown with a thin bubbly head. Aroma is a bit of caramel, wheat, but still has that cheap beer smell. Taste is a bit sweet, a bit overcarbonated, tastes like a wheat brown.
