Wookie - great idea, I'm not the most knowledgeable person on beers, but I love to try new ones.
Last night I tried the Spaten Optimator -
Here is a Beer Advocate review of it
I mentioned it in the
German Food Thread I started over in OOT.
I found it to have a slightly sweet nose (is this just a wine term? donno) and hints of molasses / brown sugary sweetness in taste. Medium-bodied, overall I enjoyed it quite a bit. Also was told 7.0% alcohol, nice.
To ground you somewhat, my favorite beer is Young's Double Chocolate Stout - this had similar characteristics I thought.
