Brewer's Description: Bohemian Black Lager, crafted according to exacting old-world standards with imported Czech Saaz, Styrians Hops and selected roasted malts, is the darkest beer we brew. Initially added to the Shiner family as our 97 Anniversary Brew, the unique and complex flavor of this rare brew found such a following among our customers that we brought it back for good!

If you're into bold flavor without too much body, this is a good beer to throw down. As a new favorite, Shiner never ceases to amaze me on taste and affordability.

It has a lightly sweet, roasted malt flavor. It is certainly not complex as the brewer states, but it does have some good drinkability going for it.

The more I try of this style, the more I’m starting to really love a hearty black lager. When poured, it looks like “Texas Tea” with an incredible foamy head that lingers for the entire serving leaving pleasing lace rings on the glass. What captured my senses was its deep, dark malt smell. It has an enjoyable flavor; having a nice crisp ‘hoppy’ bite but none of that bitterness normally associated with the black malt. Don’t expect a porter or stout when having this beer! Otherwise you’d think it was thinned out a tad. But this is definitely one black lager to have on-hand and enjoy!

All it really is, is a darker and maltier shiner bock. It's okay but their bock is much, much better.
