hopIQ found 10 beers with the same rich and full-bodied character as Augustiner Maximator. Maximator has been Augustiner's dark Doppelbock since 1950 and is traditionally poured during the strong-beer season in Lent. Deeply kilned malt from the brewery's own floor maltings shapes its character. The body is full, firm and pronounced, wrapped in a fine, velvety carbonation. A light malt sweetness is surrounded by roasty cocoa notes with hints of toasted bread crust and caramel, and the smooth finish carries a lingering note of dark chocolate rather than any sharp bitterness. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
Closest match: Tegernseer Quirinus — 95%. Same richness and fullness, with a sweet edge Augustiner-Bräu keeps quiet.
