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 near black with a medium nice creamy tan head. Some toasted malt aroma and a little chocolate. Flavor is nice, smooth rich roasted malt and creamy chocolate, balanced. Hard to be a doppelbock at 5.8, but the flavor is nice. Sweet and dry finish. Palate is very thin, easy drinking but exceptionally watery for the style. Decent beer, but its a Doppelbock lite at best.

Bottle: Poured a dark reddish brown. Thin light brown head. Little light malt scent. Not really that great of a flavor. Finish is really weak. Doesnt leave you with the whole "i want another" feeling.

Clear ruby red, small head. Cheap Regional Brewery aroma, musty and fruity with malt and a hint of banana. Sweet and thin. Slightly tart and overly alcoholic for the ABV. Chalky and a bit astringent. Mild malt, cheap caramel and light fruit flavors. Finishes saccharine and astringent. One of the worst Dopplebocks I’ve had.

Pours a dark ruby-brown color with a tan head. Aroma is kind of plain... but of malt caramel. Flavor is dry, malty, and a little sweet. 12 oz. bottle.

Bottle. Dark brownish-red brew with a very small laced head. Aroma is of smoked malt, caramel and a little bit of burnt nuts. Flavor is of burnt malt, little bit of caramel. Decent winter beer, but nothing special.

Dark, reddish brown appearance with an average size beige head and moderate lacing. Muted, malty aroma layered with dark fruit. Taste is roasted malt, ripe fruit, mildly nutty, with a touch of chocolate coming in near the end. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel leading to a clean, short lived finish.

Had a dark brown look with no head(when i actually got it at my table). Aroma of light nut, medium hop, and maybe some nutmeg. Tastes had the same plus a little toffee. Not a bad beer. Tasted a little watered down actually. Probably won’t go out of my way to find again but it wasn’t half bad.
