May 3, 2004 The Midwest’s Guinness. It has a very similar style to Leinies Creamy Dark too. Both beers are excellent ’cheap’ Guinnesses

Apr 12, 2004 Updated: Apr 14, 2004Dark, smooth and tasty. This was one of the best beers I've ever had. I have never had a Leinenkugel beer that has been bad. This was absolutely delicious with a steak sandwich.

Apr 9, 2004 On tap at the Crescent Moon Alehouse. A dark sepia color with a light fizzy tan head that leaves us on time. Little aroma, unless you compare it to the other Leine macros, in which case it is a snake charmer. Malt character could be boosted, but that would get in the way of Miller's profits (pesky law of diminishing returns). I suppose that if you drink beer because of the name, you'll enjoy this one.

Mar 13, 2004 Thanks to wawood for the chance to sample this one. Not a big bock beer fan, so I was pleased that this beer could have passed for a sweetish brown ale. Nice chestnut appearance with a great head. Slightly sourish aroma. Sweetish but light body, with a roasted tang. A bit of dark fruit. Not bad really, just not special.

Feb 22, 2004 Coffee like aroma, surprisingly light coffee roasted taste, not much aftertaste. I remember this being bolder and more full bodied in the past

Feb 16, 2004 On draught at a big anonymous sports bar locally. The only thing on the domestic beer menu I hadn't tried, so the waitress brought me a draught so cold there was, I swear, ice floating on top. After letting it warm in my hands, the beer started having some fairly decent doppelbock like aromas and then the taste was pretty good too, but not very thick or complex like a "real" doppelbock. Still, for a fake doppel in less than desirable drinking circumstances, I thought this was okay, and it went well with my burger and fries. One thing--why do these big American brewing companies give their beers such dumb names? I was a little embarrassed to say Big Butt to the waitress, and she was a little embarassed to say the name, and my wife looked over at me and only half-jokingly said, "Sure, you're out with me and you have to order something called a Big Butt? Thanks." Sorry, my dears. I won't do it again.
