Spaten Optimator

This is a Doppel Bock beer, produced by Spaten, another traditional bavarian brewery. This bottle of Optimator contains 330ml of 7,8% alcohol Starkbier (that one, produced for Starkbierfest, in May, remember?)

No, Munich doesn't have yet too many breweries, there's always one less famous, more hidden or smaller but never less tasty. This one is a quite big brewery though, and shows in its symbol two shovels, or 'zwei Spaten' in german.

Löwenbräu - Triumphator

This is a 500ml bottle of the Double Bock produced by Löwenbräu, one of the biggest breweries in Munich, Germany. It is, as stated before, a seasonal beer, produced for the Starkbierfest, that happens every march/april.

It contains 7,6% alcohol, that's why is called Starkbier (Strong beer, in german). This kind of beer was originally produced by monks during the period of reflection and fast that preceeds Easter, it's meant to be very strong and nutritious, so it could feed the monks during the period they were not alowed to eat (but still allowed to drink).

Schneider Weisse - Aventinus*

Schneider Aventinus, or Tap 6, is a weiss doppelbock beer, one of my favorite types of beer, it's a seasonal type, produced in march for the Bavarian festival 'Starkbierfest'.

This is a 500ml bottle of one of the most awarded starkbiers (check the link below to see the prizes), with 8,2% alcohol, this is one of the beers that everyone should try.

Paulaner Salvator *

One of my personal favorites, this is a double bock beer produced by Paulaner, one of the biggest breweries in the region of Bavaria, Germany.

Containing 7,9% alcohol, the Paulaner Salvator is a seasonal beer (to be produced in March, during the Oktoberfest less famous cousin, Starkbierfest) that ended up being produced all year long, it comes embottled in several volumes, this is a 330ml bottle.
