Brew: Spaten Optimator
Brewed by: Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu (http://www.spatenbraeu.de/), Germany
Style: Dopplebock
Glassware: Best served in a pilsner glass or beer mug. Although I don't mind mine in a goblet from time to time!!
Personal Notes:
What an awesome German dopplebock!! Once poured I knew I was in for a treat when I gazed upon that deep, DEEP dark brown/near black delicious body! Taste and smell are dazzled by a grand balance between malt and hops; not too bitter and not too sweet. The body is good and thick; I like to tease folks by saying it's "thick but not too chewy!" I think it's time to go back and enjoy a few more!

I love me some good malty beers. stouts, porters, bocks, dopplebocks, wiezenbocks, scottish ales, and oktoberfests. mmm.
