Beer Review: Tommyknocker Butthead Dopplebock

[AWMiller]

Brewed by: Tommyknocker Brewery, Colorado

Tommyknocker's Butthead Doppelbock is a very outstanding brew in my humble opinion. Rich and VERY smooth and delightfully malty and not overfilled with all that taste of hops!

When poured, your eyes will delight in the dark mahogany color with a hefty tan to light brown head that will cling to your mug leaving those wonderful ring-lines all the way down the glass.  Your sense of smell will swoon filled with malts, various fruit, warm bread, and the like.  Once that syrupy thick brew hits your tongue you will taste a meld of flavors but overall I compare it to warm bread fresh out of the oven!  There is a slight bite of alcohol but it's nothing at all in the way of conflicting with the fine taste of this brew.

Definitely one of the best American dopplebocks I've ever tasted!

Since I have not seen this in the local stores I went to http://www.tommyknocker.com/ to find out a little more about this beer.  Seems there is only one place in Ohio that has it - Hillard.  Since we have friends in Hillard I may have to check this out.

Jim we might need a sub forum for brew reviews and home brewing chatter.

now that's a great suggestion!  would help keep 'em all in one place!  that way those that want to see it know where to go and those that don't want to see it won't be bothered with them!

Bummer.  I just found out the Ohio Distributer is just that - a distributer and as such does not sell to the public.  They do sell by the keg, so if anyone wants to meet in Columbus (make that a LOT of us) to tap-a-keg I would be happy to help drink my two glasses.

Keg huh? 
Maybe I can get the Brewhouse to handle it for a season? 
They're all the time getting new beers in for a "season."
