Review: I won't even pretend to keep up with this website. I'm busier than than a black lab in a buttsniffing competition. So the optimator is a dobbelbock. I'm not of a Bock guy. A little sweet for my taste. Optimator is brown and not very carbonated. Has a bit of a british hop aroma, but Bocks are all about Malt. Smooth, medium mouth feel. Initially a very sweet barley flavor that dies quickly into a smooth toastier sweet malt. It's a simple but good flavor, just not really my style. The finish gets a bit too sweet for me. I'm sure it's a decent bock, but I don't care to have one again.
Rating: 3.5/5
Recommend? Sure. I don't care for it, but bock lovers might appreciate it.

eh, didn't like. Missing the updates on the beer list though. April??? Seriously? It's practically September!
Yeah, I'm not a big Bock guy, so I wasn't sure if I felt indifferent about this beer because I don't care for Bocks.
And you're right, I'm nearly irrevocably behind on this blog. I have a huge backlog. My apologies.
