Tommyknocker Butt Head Bock

Brewed by Tommyknocker Brewery
Style: Doppelbock
Idaho Springs, Colorado USA

Dark amber brown with small head, sweet malt aroma. Very sweet taste with a powerful alcohol presence. This is a fine tasting beer, a little too sweet for my personal liking but a fine beer indeed. Much better than the other Tommy Knockers I have tried.

bottled,dark amber w/ small head. malty aroma, full bodied. notes of munich, though not as much as other dopplebocks.

Syurpy and sticky sweet aroma. Maple, vanilla, and caramel malt flavors. somewhat stale and acidic at the finish. I could pass on this one.

thanks to duane for the bottle, pours a scarlet/amber color with a cream colored layer of foamy head, smells of sweet malts and caramels. flavor is full of caramel malts, with a little more bitterness on the end of the mouthfull than alot of other dopples. aftertaste is sweet and malty, and no hint of the abv comes out. a nice brew, but a little more hoppy than i am accustomed to.

This beer is fantastic! The closest thing I’ve found to the defunct Saxer Jack Frost Doppelbock. Salvator has always been a poor replacement for me. Now I have one, but sadly, only when I’m in Colorado. It’s been a while since a beer has given me goosebumps - 1993 Celebration, 2001 Harvest and , of course Jack Frost. Now, happily, I have another! Tommyknocker is Awsome!

Bottle. Dark amber pour with medium head. Flavor and aroma was hoppy, malt sweet tone. Full body with medium sweet finish with a small bite of alcohol. Good dopplebock.

Traditional golden brown in color. Head is frothy, about 1/2" thick. Consistency of beer appears solid. Very nice in appearance. Aroma is characterized by caramel malts jumping out of the glass, with some other discernable scents of roasted and chocolate malts, coupled with wafts of alcohol to enrich the smell. Taste is predominantly caramel malts. Apples, prunes and what seems to be pure vanilla extract contribute in flavor to form a buttery cocoa concoction. Notable elements of creaminess and smoothness hint at an Irish cream liquor.

In the beginning, the caramel malts and alcohol poke through more forcefully on several occasions, but they begin to fade as the taste transitions towards a more watery slickness that lacks that certain "zip" that I look for in a doppelbock. Warming alcohol presence at the tip of the throat’s latch, which then gradually recedes. Long story short - a decent interpretation and better than expected, but not as lively as I’d like it to be. Missing a certain spark, but I have no remorse from having had this butthead.

Caramel and malty aroma.. tan head on a deep chocolate body. Tasty almost toffee and caramel flavor with not a whole bunch of carbonation. I love a good bock. This seemed like more of a bock than a double bock and who can complain about a name like butthead. I liked it and will buy again. Tasty brew!
