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.

This beer has a warm, bready smell, and a nice brown color. The commercial description is quite accurate--smooth and rich without being heavy on the palate. Generally, my predjudice is more toward a heavy taste, but this beer is quite good for being so light-tasting. The taste reminds me of toasted whole-grain bread.

Boring boring boring. Very little wheat beer character and definitely in the american style of things. Lots of dirty dusty caramel.

Maybe the best beer SHINER makes. Toss up against their Kolsch. I really really enjoy this one. The taste is very very unique.

Pours a mahogony, thick head. Smells like burnt roast, bread, caramel. Taste like citrus, malt, caramel, hint of coffee. Better straight out of the bottle.

Bottle from lb4lb. Pour is mahogany with a good off white head. Aroma of candy, fruit and caramel. Slightly bitter with roasty malt. Sweet finish. Decent mouth and smooth. Don’t know if it was because I had a bad day at work, but I really enjoyed this brew.
