Description
1328 wurde die Brauerei erstmals namentlich genannt. In 1803 mussten im Rahmen der Säkularisation die Mönche das Kloster verlassen und es wurde aufgelöst. Nur die Klosterbrauerei wurde anfänglich unter staatlicher und später unter privater Führung weitergeführt.

1829 erwarben Anton und Therese Wagner, eine Brauerfamilie aus Attaching bei Freising, die Sudstätte. Seitdem ist die Brauerei eine bürgerliche Privatbrauerei in Familienbesitz. Therese Wagner erwarb in 1857 einen Lagerkeller an der Landsberger Straße. Auf dieses Gelände wurden später die gesamten Produktionsanlagen verlegt. Edith Haberland-Wagner, die letzte Verwandte mit dem Nachnamen Wagner und Haupteigentümerin der Brauerei, vermacht in 1996 ihre Anteile der von ihr gegründeten Edith-Haberland-Wagner-Stiftung. Nun hält die Stiftung etwas über 50 Prozent der Augustiner Brauerei.

Nutty toffee aroma, slightly hoppy. Deep brown, creamy brown head. Oily sticky mouthfeel in the aftertaste, perhaps this is only evident because the tastenotes are rather light and exit fast. Easy accessable Doppelbock.
Vertical tasting against 2 year old one:The old Maximator has gained a sweet oak and port aromanote (would get an 8), but has lost the fruity berrylike freshness of the young beer. Sweet wooden notes are more pronounced in the old one, however the mouthfeel is thinner. The young one feels rounder. Carbonation is still good in the old one and it has a roasted wooden aftertaste.

2009 resample in Munich. Golden-amber with no head. Brown sugar. Nice little aroma and good raisiny notes. Rich, malty character. Very cool toffee notes with a hint of toast.

Old rate, 2002: Dark brown w/red highlights. Thick malt aroma w/cherries, brown sugar, alcohol; very thick, molassesy, earth tones, chewy. Good doppelbock for those who like the style. 7-2-7-3-14 = 3.3

A fantastic pilsnener from Munich: The looks are pretty ordinary, golden/yellow with a bit weak head, but as soon as you stick your nose into the glas you will be overwhelmed by a motherload of flowery aromahops. The hops are there in the taste too, nicely balanced with a medium body. I have to get more of theese!
