🌍 Germany · Doppelbock · One of 29 Doppelbocks in hopIQ

Schlossbrauerei Maxlrain's Jubilator is seasonal ambition in liquid form — a proper Bavarian Doppelbock that doesn't apologize for its 7.5% strength or its sweetness. Deep amber-brown, dense with caramel malt, dried dark fruit and a warming alcohol that builds as it opens. Rich enough for winter, strong enough to linger, made for sipping by the fire.

Full-bodied and gently sweet.

A slow, coating pour that settles on the tongue and rewards the sip that follows.

What is a Doppelbock?

Bocks are strong German lagers with 6.5–7.5% ABV. Rich malt sweetness — toast, chocolate, caramel — with low bitterness and a warming finish.

Finding a similar Doppelbock

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same caramel, dark fruit, rich character as Jubilator will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jubilator

Appearance

Deep amber-brown with a warm, copper-tinged hue that catches light like aged leather. The body is clear, with a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the malt-driven visual presence without excess effervescence.

Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and toffee notes, underpinned by dried dark fruit — raisin and plum — that deepen as the beer warms. A soft, grainy maltiness provides the foundation, with gentle alcohol warmth emerging in the background. Noble hop character is restrained, adding only subtle herbal structure that doesn't compete with the malt profile.

Taste

Full-bodied and richly malty on entry, with caramel sweetness that builds across the mid-palate without becoming cloying. Dark fruit notes develop alongside a soft, almost creamy texture, while the 7.5% alcohol provides a gentle warming sensation that integrates naturally rather than dominates. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, serving to balance rather than assert, allowing the malt complexity to take center stage.

Finish

The finish is long and lingering, with residual sweetness and malt character that gradually fades to a warm, slightly dry aftertaste. The alcohol warmth persists gently, inviting another sip rather than fatiguing the palate.
