Spaten Optimator

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

Rich reddish brown. Thin, disappearing head. Aroma of toasted nuts, toffee. A little thin bodied for the style, but with complex roasty flavours with some dark fruits. Easier to drink than the 7.2% abv would lead you to suspect.

A very dark pour, pitch black. Has great roasted aromas and a big malt flavor. Nothing too overpowering and very enjoyable.

Huge malt flavor, caramel, raisins, sweet, dark fruit. Palate is a little thick, probably the alcohol, very light carbonation. Fantastically rich and a good example of the style. Yum.

Looks amazing in the glass, thick creamy head. Aroma of cooking malt. Dry and crisp yet oddly thick for that. Labeled as malt liquor (presumably for legal abv. reasons) but this is some awesome malt liquor.

Pours clear dark chestnut, with a medium tan head, and fine lasting lacing. Sweet aromas of toffee and banana bread, with some earthy hops. Medium body, velvety, rich, and crisp. Flavors of toast, dark fruit, a hint of chocolate, with an earthy and citrus finish.

Bitter, but toasty taste, definitely not what I expected when looking at the beer in the bottle. Medium body, minimal head when poured. Aromatic.

Pours dark brown with an average sized light brown head. Nose is malt and caramel. Taste is malt, bread, caramel, and toffee. A nice beer, very satisfying.

The steady go to beer. Bad day at work, have the optimator!.Great taste and great price and avasilable everywhere.
