Spaten Optimator

Brewed by Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (InBev)
Style: Doppelbock
Munich, Germany

Bottle. Pours a darkish brown body with a fair sized cream head. Nice aroma, quite malty with ample dried fruits, dates, etc. Taste is in the same vein with a sweet malt body with caramel and dried fruits. Slight bitterness at the end. Well carbbed with a nice crisp finish.

Had a very nut brown ale sort of taste to it that I was not expecting at all. There were a ton of different flavors and it almost went down like the normal porter usually does.

Pours a redish brown with a small off white foamy head. Aroma of sweet malts. Heavy sweet malty flavors initially with the alcohol a little present in the end. I prefer the Ayinger Celebrator.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with little white head. Flavor is malty, caramel, with slight hop bitterness in the finish

Bready malty aroma. Clear dark brown with small white head. Rich malty flavor with some spicy hop notes and graininess. Medium body and medium/full mouthfeel. Finish is somewhat dry and malty with moderate residual bitterness.

Dark brown pour with frothy white head. Sweet malty aroma; sweet taste with roasted caramel malt, nice balanced bitter finish.

Poured a dark amber/brown color with a small off white head. Aroma was very malty, some dark fruits in there and a bit grassy. Flavor was very malty, much like most german dopplebocks, nice caramel roastedness .

Getting my old notebook online. Bottle. Dark redish tint, creamy looking head. Smell: Hint of sweetness, fruitiness. Taste: Fruity bitters, bitters go away a little leading to a bit of chocolaty tones about halfway through. Strong good beer!
