Spoetzl Shiner 100 Commemorator

Appearance: Dark brown, small head with some lacing.

Smell: Caramel and sweet, inviting malts.

Taste: Caramel, spices, some hops, and a hint of cocoa.

Mouthfeel: Medium semi-thick.

Overall:
This was a surprising brew. I didn't expect a sweeter, German styled brew. It is not as complex as some German brews, but it is a good brew.

Serving type: bottle

This 1 has been in the cellar for a couple years.

Pours a slightly hazy dark amber brown with a quarter inch khaki foamy head that dissipates into a thin film.

Melanoidin, deeply caramelized malt, forms the initial aroma. Very buttery, nutty, toffee notes blend with a sherry-like dark fruit note that is reminiscent of black cherries.

Flavor reveals dark fruit notes of plum and cherry, along with a hint of sherry. Prunes and raisins combine with deeply toasted caramel malt and roasted nuts. There's a hint of cardboard due to oxidation.

Body is a touch full, with low carbonation and slight alcohol warmth.

This has been interesting. Aged quite well. Probably close to being too old.
