I have to admit that this is the first time I hear about new rubber compounds for 2020 Butchers. The only change I am aware of is the grid trail casing.
The 2019 GRID Butchers (and Eliminators, Hillbillys) have a rubber compound that is harder than maxxis Maxxterra but softer than maxxis Dual. The BLK DMND versions have slower rebounding rubber that feels almost but not quite as grippy as Maxxis maxxterra.
I use them and like them as rear tyres for my riding but probably wouldn't chose them for the shore. Definitely not as a front tyre.
