Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Oettinger Export if you want a lighter, cleaner finish that doesn't stick around,
Schwarzbräu Der Urtyp if you want slightly more bread and grip on the palate.
Both sit in that same Dortmunder sweet spot—crisp but with backbone—and the ABV/IBU difference is basically nil. The real difference lives in malt character and how each brewery's water shapes the final pour.

Tasting notes
Oettinger Export
Oettinger Export drinks like a well-tuned machine. It's lean and direct—you get a quick malty sweetness that fades almost immediately into a dry, mineral finish. There's almost no aftertaste, which some will call clean and others might call thin. It's the kind of beer that disappears fast and makes you want another one, which is exactly what Oettinger intended.
Schwarzbräu Der Urtyp
Schwarzbräu Der Urtyp has more presence. It carries a fuller malt body—you can taste actual grain, like a hint of honey and rye bread crust—and it lingers a touch longer on your tongue. It's still crisp, still refreshing, but it feels like it has something to say. Less of a palate cleanser, more of an actual drinking experience.
