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.

Interesting name. Attractive bready yeasty aroma. First taste is roasty and slightly chocolaty. Dark brownish red color. Good carbonation, a pleasure. Alcohol is ever present after the first taste bud impact. Each successive sip is covered with fine tingly carbonation and a welcomed palate appeal. Seems to have more alky than what is listed. Friendly and unassuming except for than alky alert at the end of each sip. Finish is short and generally acceptable. The slight bitter impact departs quite quickly.

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.

Bottled. Deep brown roast color pours under a very thin head. Smell has a pleasant whiff of molasses, but underlying corn sweetness. Taste carries the impression through. Just a little dark malt flavor, pinprick cola style bubbles and a lot of adjuncts.A little smokiness here and there. A halfway decent beverage, just not quite near what it claims to be.

Dios mio! What a puckering sour tone you have, Lardass. This is a very thin, watery version of Doppelbock, although hints of characteristic flavors (syrupy, caramely malts) are present. Hits the tongue with a nasty sourness which soon subsides to a weak, sweet flavor. Doppelbock for the masses? Pass on it. This one tarnishes the name "Doppelbock."

Light brown. Large, thin head that lasts. Roasted flavor. A little thin, but not bad.

Another solid offering from Leinenkugel. They are probably my overall favorite large-scale USA brewery, especially since they always seem to be on sale for $5/6-pack. This was not quite as good as the Creamy Dark but still good. Deep reddish-brown color with a short-lived head. Roasted coffee flavor but a little on the light side considering the color. I will definitely get this one again.

My initial reaction had me giving this a 3.8, but I'm bumping it up to 3.9, because I was doing a side by side with it and Celebrator. Not exactly fair, eh? But it still was nice. Here's the review: Pours dark amber with good sized off white head, which was slightly fizzy and disspated a bit quickly, leaving quick light lacing. Full rich caramel aroma with some hints at cinnamon and warm sugar, interesting. Med body with nice caramel flavors but not as toffeish as it might be. Solid bitterness is maybe a tad too much.
