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 poured into a pint glass; lovely clear, dark toffee color, with quickly diminishing, thin tan head and no lacing. Sweet, winey aroma. Rich, roasted flavor, but not like a porter. Like bread crust, slightly bitter.The finish is mildly buttery, not too lingering. I think it’s a bit over-carbonated, but I like it.

Bottle. Nice dark wheat beer, which are hard to find in this country. I had to go to Shiner to get this. Good aroma and great roasted flavor. I really liked this beer. I wish I could find this in my hometown

Bottle. Dark coppery body with a soft tan head. Nose is dark bready notes, some cocoa, light caramel, and faint banana. Taste is dark bread, light caramel, cocoa, some wheat notes and dried fruits. Body is meidum with some strong carbonation notes. Finishes with more bready notes, some fainter caramel, more dried fruit, and grains.

Bottle. A very bready malt aroma with hints of ripe bananas. Clear reddish brown color with moderate head. Syrupy sweet malt flavor with hints of cherry and banana - a bit cloying. Could start a new style - Kristall dunkelweizen - as this is obviously filtered. A nice tasting beer overall and a decent American version of the style.

This was ok, but maybe a little boring. Nothing really stood out. Not bad, but if you want a really good Shiner beer, try the Shiner 97 Bohemian Black Lager (schwarzbier). That stuff is fine.

Freshly broken wood or bark aroma. Delicious turpentine tastedbud initial whammy. Appears nice transparent brown in my steeler stein. Finish is medium carbonation with just a slight (if any) bitter aftertaste.

Light brown color. Tastes of roasted malts and wheat. Too much carbonation.
