Leinenkugels Big Butt Doppelbock

Brewed by Leinenkugel Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Doppelbock
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin USA

Kinda weak for a bock, dislike that about it. I wouldn’t buy this but would drink it again if someone else paid. there are better beers out there.

For some reason I always thought this was a beer that could knock you on your ass due to it being a Doppelbock and all my friends telling me it could. Upon trying it aint so bad. Well in certain regards it is but not the ass-kicking part. A kind of beer; as in kind of creamy, kind of sweet, and kind of good. For some reason this is usually priced higher than other Leine products, go figure.

Rated 3/9/07: I knew Big Butt existed but have never come across it, imagine my excitement when I noticed this at the grocery store. Just so happens the beverage manager and the sales rep were chatting and noticed me grabbing the newly stocked item. Sales rep said he hasn’t handled this product for 10 years and he was stoked about it this year. Well this isn’t top shelf by any means, solid beverage but sad example of a dopplebock. Aroma of lightly sweetened malt and fresh bread with that damn mass produced metallic tinge....hate that. Light brown pour with a dark amber tint, small light tan head and mild lacing. Easily drinkable but not very filling, relatively smooth with no aftertaste. Flavor is sub-par, real let down from Leine’s who I’ve come to trust for solid beers. This reminds me of the Berghoff Red Bock I recently bought and rated, very similar it’s almose eerie. Leine’s puts out much better products than this, good thing it’s a seasonal maybe it won’t cross my path for a long time.

Not really a doppelbock...by any stretch of the immagination. More like a malty amber ale, with complex notes and richness. Not as flavorful as anticipated. Average at best

Coming from Wisconsin I’m rooting for this one. It’s not as bad as previous reviews. A very generic bock not in the same league as the Germans (Celebrator, Salvator, Optimator). Could be an old standby though for those bock lovers who can’t easily find the Germans. Malty nose, fruity aftertase, dard amber color. A little weak.

This is a joke right? Somebody thought it would be funny to call this a dopplebock, b/c it couldn’t be farther from. Most regular bocks have more alcohol and flavor than this. It was so blah...tasted like a simple amber lager. i was quite disappointed, but hey life goes on. I would steet clear of this one

Strong aroma of nuts and malt. Flavor leaves something to be desired, not as colorful as it smells. Not much aftertaste. Very disappointed with the lack of taste given high expectations from initial sniff.

Dark brown color. Smell of malt, brown sugar, nuts and some caramel. Tastes the same minus the nuts and a little too watered down. Some chocolate comes in at the end too. Theres just a little too much malt in this one.
