Mar 27, 2008 Okay Dunkel, but I expected more flavor. Kind of bitter, and different than other Dunkels that I have had - not as dark. Kind of malty, a little wheaty, but overall not a drop me on my knees beer.

Feb 13, 2008 Moderate malts and wheat in thee aroma. Frothy, brown head. Some very marginal lacing and fair retention for a Shiner. Redish-brown in color. Taste is malty with a salty finish and a lot of copper-metallicyness in the finish. Not sure what that is from, but it is in the bottle as well as my glass, so it isn’t a contaminent I added. Otherwise the texture is dryish with, as usual, a bit too much fizzyness in the carbonation. So-so, although it is very sippable.

Feb 11, 2008 Tea brown with typical Spoetzl carbonation. Head is a finger or so and slowly fades. Nice malty flavor with a clean finish. Less "Spoetzl"ly than most of their other brews. Easy to drink, not much if any complexity in the finish.

Feb 10, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008very good refreshing winter ale. I liked what was happening with this I feel that it could be better with some refinement. This is probably my favorite Shiner though. Wouldn’t buy again at present

Jan 20, 2008 Brownish-ruby colored pour. Has a small, cream colored head. Aroma has hints of roasting. Taste has strong hints of roasted malts. Finish left me a little disappointed....perhaps a little metallic.
