hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and malty character as Buronator. A Doppelbock built on 18.3 degrees Plato, dark brown and close to opaque in the glass. The heavy, darkly kilned malt bill gives dried fruit, raisin and dark caramel, with cocoa and toasted bread crust underneath and a warming alcohol note running through. Hallertauer Herkules and Tradition hold 26 IBU against it, enough to stop the sweetness running away; the finish is long, sticky and faintly of bitter chocolate. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
