Re: The unofficial all things BEER thread!
One to try IF you can find it...
Spaten Optimator
(makes Guiness look and taste like milk)
And something called "Batch 9001"---VERY strong beer (had a buzzz after just one)

Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA...close to 20%abv...doesn't take many of those... 
Who makes Batch 9001?

Optimator is a phenomenal beer, and one of my personal favorites. It's a doppelbock, so not really directly comparable to Guinness (an Irish dry stout) except in that it's very dark. For that matter, Spaten's Munich Dark is quite good as well - a bit less sweet, though, and I think a bit lower alcohol content (Optimator is pretty strong).
Another good doppelbock you might enjoy if you like Optimator is Paulaner Salvator.
Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!

I have no idea, I just picked up 3 singles, by the time I was done, I was so buzzed that I just threw away the bottles without reading them, lol 
I'll google it and see...

There is another one I found last year that is brewed locally....Dirty Helen.
Pretty hoppy, but very tasty!
