BEAR-ly Getting Started 2.4 - Doppelbock
Rounding out Series 2, we explore the Doppelbock and feature Optimator from Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu in Munich. Starting in 1397, becoming the largest in town in 1867, it still stands in the same location. This beer is an ever-promising treat for the taste buds and an aroma of toasted malt, caramel, and dark fruits to match. Thank you, as always, for listening. We look forward to bringing you Series 3.
