Commercial Description:
Leinenkugel's is pleased to bring back Leinenkugel's Big Butt Doppelbock into its limited-release portfolio. The name "Big Butt" comes from the image of two goats butting heads that you see on the label. Bock means billy goat in German and Leinenkugel's Big Butt Doppelbock's name and label pokes fun at the goat's springtime mating ritual. The result is a malty, rich, full-bodied bock beer brewed with two-and six-row pale and specialty malts and two specialty hops. Like all Leinie's beers, Big Butt Doppelbock is handcrafted one batch at a time in our historic Chippewa Falls brewery.

pours deep brown with large head. aroma is raisin caramel malt with some dark malt making its way through. taste is thin for a doppelbock but is moderately caramel malty and is pretty smooth. not awful and fairly tasty but jus not a good doppelbock. jus to thin.

Dark mahagony pour with minimal head and no lacing. smooth and nutty. This is good beer. Hard to drink a beer called ’big butt", though. have to drink it in private.

Pour is red hued dark brown. the head was was medium sized but faded fast. Flavor is thinner then I like and highly carbonated. The hops are mild. The caramel malts are pleasent. An ok version.

Tap at Burrito Loco. Dark reddish brown with small head that quickly dissapated. Not much aroma to speak off and the taste was almost sickeningly fruity, like a cheap wine... grape, raisin, and berries. Mouthfeel was thinner than I would expect. Maybe I’m just not used to the style but this beer was underwhelming.

I used up my second coupon at the Leinie’s Lodge for this one. Straight from the Lodge tapper it poured a dark brown with an off white foam. Yes, it would pass the old Leinenkugel bock beer pencil test. Decent aroma of pecan, purple cirtus, some vanilla, and black cherry. Palate was somewhat watery. Flavors contained dark grape and bubblegum. A very clean finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a thin mocha colored head that fades quickly. Medium carbonation. The aroma is a faint earth and coffee combination. The taste is subtle for a dopplebock, with just an earthy smokiness to this slightly thin and watery brew. Fairly well balanced with the malts, and at $10.42 for a 12-pack, a decent beer to get you through a broke weekend.

Clear deep brown with a small head. Aroma of roasted grains and nuts, brown sugar and raisins. Rich and nutty taste with strong toffee and caramel malt. Medium body. Slightly sticky texture.

I thought this was a gorgeous beer, It had a dark brown color with a firm head. The doppel really had nice notes of spice. Great beer.
