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.

Bottle: Deep red/brown color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel, chocolate. Flavor, caramel, some fruits I guess. A bit of a roasted character, maybe some grassy hops. Nothing really doppelbock about it.

12 oz bottle thanks to xnoxhatex? Had this at a party as it was winding down and my consumption needed to wind down as well. A little malty aroma chocolate, carmel, pretty flat. The flavors reflected the aroma. I thought dopple meant double? Well nothing double here and nothing special either but its drinkable.

Pours reddish brown with thin head that dissipates pretty quick. Aroma is german hops, pale malt and a tiny bit of caramel. Taste is malty, with mainly pale malt flavoring, but with a decent amount of caramel as well, but not near enough for the style. There is also a little bit of a hop finish. Overall this beer is an ok doppelbock, but definitely nothing special. Maybe if it were the price of a regular lienies six pack it would be o.k., but it cost me 1.50 more.

Minnetonka, Mn. - Old Chicago Pizza - draft. Medium brown pour, white head. Non-descript aroma - hints of fresh lake water. Sweet flavor with hints of caramel and raisins. Nutty finish. Decently thick mouthfeel. Did not bowl me over.

Pour is a deep dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is nothing special as some malts make there way to the top. Flavor is much the same. Very carbonated and some malts. No where near the style. Pretty poor effort.

This is one of the best Leinie beers that I have tried. Aroma is lighter than I expected, but had a roasty / carmel smell. Head started out nice, but then became quite thin...had a nice dark reddish colour. Very smooth dopplebock start to finish. I would buy this beer again

Bottle. Caramel and toffee nose with dark malt, but on the whole weak. Pours a darkish red-brown with a creamy light brown head. Blander than expected, but there is the occasional taste jolt of stale caramel and dark fruit, and some tinny pale malt. Crisp beginning. Watery and somewhat artificial with little to style.
