We still have a few bottles in our collection and will probably break a couple out here and there over the next few months. Probably my favorite Shiner seasonal.<BR/><BR/>http://thebeerbrotha.blogspot.com/2008/11/magic-hat-and-christmas-special.htmlThe American Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404663929961039814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503619686876072567.post-53499467196679866152009-01-25T19:08:00.000-06:002009-01-25T19:08:00.000-06:00Actually, I liked the Shiner Dunkel until I tried ...Actually, I liked the Shiner Dunkel until I tried some really good ones. If you're ever in Austin during the winter, try North by Northwest's dunkel or Live Oak's Primus Weizenbock – they're both outstanding.

I really think the label and bottle are so cool looking, folks are just going to jump all over it. Would Heineken be as popular now if it weren't for that green bottle back in the day?

I agree with what you said about "not as strong as the doppelbocks I've had in the past" – I kind of like that. I enjoy the likes of Spaten Optimator, but that first sip is always a bit overwhelming and it takes time for my palate to adjust. Not so with 100 – I thought it went down just fine from the very first sip.<BR/><BR/>You know, of all the anniversary beers, the Black is the one I liked the least, yet that is the one they made a part of their regular lineup. I sure hope they'll bring some of the others back into production.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588251769024959566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503619686876072567.post-14066176657305123032009-01-24T14:19:00.000-06:002009-01-24T14:19:00.000-06:00Thanks for the review!
