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.

Tasty dopplebock at an honest price. Big malty sweetness without much hops. It looks good, surprisingly durable head and its pretty dark. It’s not up to German standards, but I am not going to whine about it - this is one of Leinies best offerings.

This stuff was suprisingly good for only being $3.99 for a six pack and the fact that it’s from a "Big Box" Wisconsin Brewery. Not that it was the best beer I’ve ever had or anything, but it’s really drinkable. It actually tastes kinda’ good. It has a lot of the basic characteristics of a good Belgian Dopplebock, but they’re on the weak side. Not a bad buy. I’ll have to share the rest with my friends just so they can say they’ve tried it.

Roasted malt taste with light mouthfeel and a thin body. Definitely drinkable but nothing to write home about

Dark brown with a touch of red. Thin light brown head. Roasted malt and chocoalte aroma. Roasted malt flavor with coffee, chocolate and some nuttiness. Maybe some cherry flavor.

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a Bell’s dimpled mug. This beer poured a lighter shade of mahogany with a two-finger thick head of fizzy tan foam that displayed some decent retention. Some slippery lace was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of sweet roasted malt along with some mild caramel and chocolate notes. Very restrained. The flavor was also a bit weak with some slight roast sneaking in as well as some very faint dark fruits and caramel. The mouthfeel was light to medium-bodied. A tad watery and highly carbonated. If you like your doppelbocks bland and mundane, this will fill the bill.

Pours with a largish, light brown head covering a clear dark brown body. Aroma of rotten fruits, vanilla and tabacco. Some splotchy lacing. Tastes of something nutty, soil, and some light porter-dry coffee notes. Fizzy.
