Spaten - Optimator

This beer sounds like some sort of Transformer character. The Optimator. It's 7.6%. I was a little scared trying this one. I have never had a strong German beer that I know of, and the chap in the shop described it as a dark lager. I was thinking along the same lines as Special Brew or Elephant Beer. In other words, gipping.

I needn't have worried though. This is lovely. It isn't too sweet, it's incredibly malty and all in all delicious. It reminds me of a non alcoholic drink they sell in Germany, Malzbier, a malt drink, pretend beer for kids. This is very similar. Like dark boozy Horlicks.

Yum!
