Spaten "Optimator"
Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu - Munich, Germany
Doppelbock (ABV 7.6%)
[Best served in a Dimpled Mug]
Rating: 2.8/5.0
Aroma: 6/10
Appearance: 3/5
Taste: 6/10
Palate: 2/5
Overall: 11/20
The pour was a medium-dark brown with a large (2-3 finger) light brown head that diminished quickly and had poor lacing.
The aroma was of a toasted bread malt and a doughy yeast with notes of caramel, molasses, dark fruit (raisins and plums) and a slight metallic smell.
The taste was lightly sweet and malty throughout with a note of caramel early on and had notes of dark fruit and a mild alcohol presence at the finish. The flavor lasted an average time after the swallow with a slight metallic fruity flavor left behind.
Mouthfeel was light to medium in body and watery yet just a tad dry in texture with a medium carbonation.
Overall a pretty basic Doppelbock with a slightly bland flavor...
