Commercial Description:
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. 1997 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner

[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]

Red-brown Very hop aromatic. Big maltiness. Tastes like a barley wine.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, dark amber with a small, off-white head. Malty, vaguely vinous, tart nose. Solid, full-bodied with plenty of malt. Some notes of caramel. Slightly tart edge and a dry, lightly hoppy finish. 050506

Hazy dark amber. Raisin and brown sugar in a fairly straightforward, slightly grainy aroma. Sweet, simple toffee taste, with a hint of earthiness. Comes off like a really by-the-numbers doppelbock, which is fine, but my favourite examples tend to have a bit more flair.

Bottle. Clear orange coloured with an off white head. Sweet aroma of malts and caramel. Sweet and light acidic flavour of malts and caramel.
