In terms of American dark lagers assuming the title of "bock," Shiner (bottle) is usually the best option; still, that’s not saying a whole lot. I don’t think there are any fundamental problems with Shiner, but I don’t think it’s that great. Maybe I’ve been drinking it for too long. Anyways, Shiner’s got some standard caramel and malt tastes, but a little too much bite from the carbonation. The aftertaste is bitter, but subsides very quickly. One of the things that stood out this last time was that Shiner had absolutely no discernible smell. I also hate how, even throughout most of Texas, Shiner is considered an import at bars.

This is my favorite beer for drinking with friends. The flavor is great and being from Texas theres nothing better than Shiner...I started drinking this beer because at most bars it is the only good beer to get.

i would probably never seek this beer out in a bar, and would mostly likely try something new over buying this again. overall, it was nothing too impressive but is still better than typical keg beer.

A good, classic Texas beer. Nice amber color. Plus the packaging is classic... photo of Spoetzl on the neck label and a ram on the body.

On tap at the Texans game. Pours a dark copper color with a medium off white head. The aroma is very malty with some caramel. Good lacing on this one. The taste is a light roasted malt with a smooth finish. A great texas brew.

One of my favorites that became my number 1 the very first bottle. On draft on 6th Street in Austin was very refreshing on a hot humid evening.
