Big Butt Doppelbock used to be one of my favorite beers back when I was an (almost) exclusively Leinenkugel guy, back before I
really understood what
darkness meant in a beer. In fact it was a guest's negative reaction to
Big Butt that inspired me to keep some cheap beer in the fridge for undiscerning visitors.
Big Butt was discontinued by Leinie's at an inopportune time: just when darker beers started becoming popular, discontinued before Ill-Gotten Booty started doing beer reviews.
Big Butt pours a reddish mahogany brown with a thin tan head. Low carbonation, medium hoppiness with an aroma and taste of figs, raisins, and apricots. Toffee and honey make an appearance as well. Pretty decent bock, although nothing "doppel" about it.
