Beer Review: Spaten Optimator

[AWMiller]

Brew: Spaten Optimator

Brewed by: Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu, 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!

Sounds like my kinda beer. I'll have to see if I can find it locally here.

I picked up a Cowboy Coffee brewed in Montana that was perty good this week. The caps have little sayings under them. One said "Sheep Boots and Velcro Gloves"

I haven't noticed it to try it, but if I find it I will!
