Brew: Shiner Bohemian Black Ale
Brewed by: Spoetzl Brewery; Shiner, Texas USA
Style: schwarzbier
Glassware: Best served in a pilsner glass (or a goblet cause that’s how I like to roll!)
Personal Notes:
What an awesome black lager! 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!
