Forst Sixtus if you want elegance and restraint,
Primátor Doppelbock if you want power and warmth.
Both are serious doppelbocks with identical IBUs, but Forst stays lean at 8% while Primátor flexes at 10.5%—a meaningful gap in a style built on richness. The Italian (Forst) prioritizes drinkability; the Czech (Primátor) prioritizes presence. Pick based on whether you're settling in for conversation or committing to something heavier.

Forst Sixtus
Forst Sixtus tastes restrained for a doppelbock—there's bread crust and caramel, but they don't overwhelm. The alcohol hides better than you'd expect at 8%, letting the malt do the talking without that boozy warmth coating your mouth. It's a doppelbock that doesn't announce itself; you lean in to find the complexity. Finishes clean and mineral-touched, almost Austrian in its precision.
Primátor Doppelbock
Primátor hits you with immediate weight—dark fruit, molasses, and a velvet mouthfeel that says this beer means business at 10.5%. The alcohol presence is unmistakable but integrated, warming your chest rather than burning your throat. There's a slight spice note underneath the sweetness, something almost herbal that keeps it from becoming cloying. This is a beer you feel, not just taste.
