It pours black, that's better than the last Schwarzbier I had can say. The nose is very malty with vanilla and nuts. Taste is good, but I prefer my schwarzbier's a tad sweeter up front.

Purchased in Vermont, part of their tester mixed-pack. Pours a dark cola-brown colour with a creamy beige top, good retention and some creamy lacing. Aromas of mild roasted malts with hints of vanilla and caramel. Again, light roasted malts with watered-down caramel malts. Not really sweet, not bitter. Just a decent lager that goes down smoothly and with darker edge.

now just called "Shiner Bohemian Black Lager". Pours a very clear black with a sub one finger head that disappears fairly quick. Aroma is strong of roasted malts. Taste is very light compared to the color and aroma. not what you should expect from a Schwarzbier. Not much going on here.

Pitch black with small light brown foam head. Aroma is like cold charcoal /BBQ wood. Taste is like drinking a pal which has been filtered through charcoal. No aftertaste present. (Houston 201301)

This poured a nice black appearance with a beige head. The aroma contains some chocolate, marshmallows, and coffee. The flavor contained a roasted coffee and chocolate flavor. The palate is a bit thin and very dry. This is spot on to most good black lagers I’ve had with a slight knock on the palate. Overall this is a pretty darn good beer.

Different label these days. Porter-like pour. Aroma a little dusty, but underneath a good dose of roasted malts, coffee, toffee sweet. Aftertaste great...chocolate, roasted malts, a kiss of smoke. Smooth, thin. Possibly the best Shiner I've had.

Pours a black color. Smell is of roasted malts and coffee. Taste is coffee up front, malts, a touch of chocolate. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is an easy drinking and enjoyable beer.

This pours nice brown (almost black) with a nice tanish head that quickly disappears. The aroma is that of roasted malt, nuts, and licorice with a hint of sweet fruits. This beer is under carbonated with flavors of coffee, chocolate, light hops, tangy citrus, nuttiness, and mild spices.

Dark and opaque with tan head, this was a nice little surprise. The flavor was malty with hints of chocolate and solid mouthfeel. Its balanced with a hop that tends to be a little sharply bitter..kinda grabs you on the back of the tongue. It isn't wow, but it isn't bad either. I would buy it again when in the states.

This beer was a pleasant surprise as word of mouth has painted this brewery with a bad name. A nice cola black pour with a decent sized light brown head that lasts. Roasted malt, nuts, and licorice dominate the aroma with a hint of sweet fruits. The flavour is bitter with chocolate and nuts dominate, and a crisp finish.
