Commercial Description:
A Bohemian Black Lager is a rare and delicious style of beer, referred to in Germany as "Swarzbier". Shiner Bohemian Black Lager remains true to this old-world style by using imported Czech Saaz and Styrains Hops and select roasted malts to make it our darkest beer. First brewed to commemorate our 97th anniversary, this Bohemian Black Lager remains true to the old-world heritage of the German and Czech immigrants that settled Shiner. Prosit!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
