This award winning doppelbock (8.2% alcohol by volume) lager is brewed with a generous supply of Munich, carapils, caramel and chocolate malts and is fermented with Bavarian lager yeast. The resulting caramel sweetness and rich mouthfeel are complimented by the mild bittering of German Hallertau hops.

[Butt Head Bock] The aroma is very sweet with notes of alcohol and hints of alcohol. The color is brown and it has a small diappearing brown head. The flavor is sweet and rather hoppy with notes of roasted malt and alcohol running over the tongue, which warms. The mouthfeel ís smooth. [Tommyknocker Bockfest] Vintage 1996 sampled 2004. The Bockfest is a retired seasonal made by adding Rum and Allspice to the Butt Head Bock, but otherwise the specs are the same. A hazy red beer with a disappearing head. The aroma is of spices, where cinnamon stands out. The flavor is dusty combined with notes of oranges and spices - it definately tastes a little old. The body is a little thin - amazing of such a strong beer - even though it is 8 years old. [7/4/5/2/12]

Cola coloured body with no head at all. Aroma of raisins, figs, roasted malt and alcohol. Medium-bodied; Strong alcohol/malt flavour roaming around. Aftertaste shows some strong nutty flavours with malt and alcohol very potent. Overall, a decent bock-a bit old, showing some age. Thansk to Jon[R888710] for this one! I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased in a package shop in Galveston, Texas on 18-September-2004.

Nice burnt-orange color, but has no head to speak of. Only the faintest floral scent, but it's so far away that it's almost undetected. Very alcohol flavored, moreso than beers I've had with more alchohol in them. A little too much for me, though I have to give it a 3.0 for its own defined flavor. Pretty thin in the mouth, feels like I'm drinking beer that's been iced down, or alcohol mixed with a shot of 7-up. IT'S OK beer, but most likely this will be my only sampling time.

This beer is a dark reddish-brown color with a medium and lively (albeit short-lived) light brown head. Strong caramel and malt aroma. Medium-bodied with lots of caramel and malt in the flavor, along with a little fruit and spice (pepper). Finish is mildly sweet. One of the better Tommyknockers I have tried.
