Notch Black Lager: 5.5 – It has more in common with a nutty Lager than a black as far as flavor goes. The color matches, but it’s an okay beer.

Shiner Bohemian Black Lager
Shiner Bohemian Black Lager: 5.0 – While I love Black Lager’s in general, this lacks any sort of power which is why I love Black Lagers, as such it’s another passable beer from Shiner.

Jack’s Abby Coffee Smoke and Dagger
Jack’s Abby Coffee Smoke and Dagger: 3.5 – Sadly while we love the original, this coffee variant just doesn’t hit the right spots, even for a coffee beer.

Jack’s Abby Numb Swagger
Jack’s Abby Numb Swagger: 6.0 – While I’m glad that Jack’s Abby is experimenting with their Black Lager – the spice here while interesting just makes me want the regular Black Lager. Unlike the Coffee variant this doesn’t compete with beers from people like Dogfish Head.

Samuel Adams Black Lager
Samuel Adams Black Lager: 5.0 – I was hoping for a Guinness situation here as their black lager is fantastic (and I will often prefer it to the standard/imperial stouts); however this is middling at best – if anything this is a sign that others should do more black lagers to beat ol’ sam.
