hopIQ take
Forst Sixtus if you want richness and dark fruit depth,
Jubilator if you want approachability and smoothness.
Both are legit doppelbocks at nearly identical strength, but Sixtus leans into that Tyrolean intensity—it's got more going on. Jubilator is the more graceful interpretation, letting malt sweetness do the talking without the extra complexity.

Forst Sixtus
Forst Sixtus hits you with plum and dark cherry right away, followed by this almost woody, slightly spiced backbone that feels distinctly Alpine. The 8% ABV isn't hidden—you feel the warmth building, which actually complements the beer's darker character. It's not heavy-handed, but it's definitely *present*, and that's the point.
Jubilator
Jubilator is what happens when a brewery decides elegance matters more than proving anything. Soft caramel, bread crust, maybe a whisper of stone fruit, but nothing sharp. The half-percent lower ABV makes a real difference in how it sits—smoother, more drinkable, less of that warming sensation. This is the doppelbock that doesn't announce itself.
