 Spaten is an excellent German brewery that is surprisingly available to the general public. It is not uncommon to see Spaten beers in the cooler at a local chain grocery store. Getting a Spaten beer on draught is less common. Stubbie's T-shirt pub currently has two Spaten beers on draught, Optimator and Oktoberfest. I had a draught of Optimator served in a Spaten glass. Optimator is a darker lager beer. The carbonation is there but it is not aggressive. The color is dark brown. There is a slight hint of roasted malt but not a strong hop character. This is one of my favorite "dark" lagers. I prefer this to the Oktoberfest, which is also very good. Please check out this beer, even if you have to buy the bottles in the grocery store. It is very good. | |
