Nephilium (416), Ohio, USA Apr 26, 2008 Slightly sweet aroma, with just a hint of roast hiding in there. Pours a dark ruby with a thin tan head. Flavor is a hint of sweetness, blended with some roasted notes, and a touch of hop bitterness. Very drinkable.
patrick767 (1386), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Jul 25, 2008 bottle - Pours dark brown and smells mainly of a lightly roasted chocolate malt. It has a sweet roast malt flavor with a hint of dark fruit. This beer has a too thin body and finishes lightly sweet. Not bad. jodyperkins (61), Mississippi, USA Jul 21, 2008 Poured from bottle. Looks just like Coca-Cola but the head doesn’t last as long - after a minute it was totally gone with almost no carbonation visible. I couldn’t detect much of an aroma. It was sweet and tasted like weak burnt coffee. It was pleasant to the mouth but the burnt taste was just a tad too strong. Montag (3), , Texas, USA does not count Jul 21, 2008 One of the better beers Shiner has produced. Dark and strong. with a crisp aftertaste, though it does not do well warm and should be drank slightly chilled. BeerFanDan17 (331), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA Jul 21, 2008 Weak and skunky. I expected better. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest. PorterPounder (2766), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 16, 2008 Austin, Tx. - Harlons - Airport - 12 oz bottle . Somewhat neutral aroma with a hint of licorice and coffee. Dark brown cola colored pour with no head. Flavor has some chicory notes. licorice, a bit of day old coffee. Not bad at all. Mouthfeel somewhat thin - but true to stlyle. Would drink again.
