HB saison while waiting for my dubbel to boil.

This is just a regular doppelbock but as good as any of the German ones I have had ... think Spaten Optimator
I've never had an Optimator if I ever see it I'll try it. Generally any doppel that ends with ator is good. Hard to find any Doppels around my parts. I used to have to drive 30 miles just to have an Aventinus. All the stores around here seem stuck in the 90s with Hofbrau and Warsteiners. Those are decent beers but that's about as German as it gets in my stores. Every now and then I get lucky and find a few bombers of Aventinus.

You gotta find some Optimator, it is an unforgettable beer.
 
@Immocles I have that on tap. One of my favorites. Had to get one more keg that was brewed while Larry was still at the helm..
It’s definitely what I think of when I think ipa. I don’t buy it super often anymore but I wandered through the liq store today and saw it was a couple bucks off sale price and figured it was a sign. Goes down too quickly though.
