Did the flavors of sugar and bitter sweet almonds and coffee in Imperial Biscotti Break also make you sentimental? Now we topped it off with insane amounts of doughnuts. This all time American favorite is making it’s way back into the spotlight and we at Evil Twin Brewing are not letting a tasty trend pass us by without taking it to the next level. Drink it with great gusto - Forza Doughnuts.

Pours black with moderate carbonation that develops into a nicely sculpted head of three finger foam. Aroma is coffee and roasted malt. Taste is likewise coffee and roasted malt. Drinkable and worthy.

Sample on tap at What’s Brewing Beer Festival, Stavanger. Black colour, tan head. Chocolate and vanilla in the aroma. Medium sweet flavour, chocolate and vanilla galore, some roasty coffee notes in the finish.

Bottle from Etre Gourmet, served at home in a snifter glass.
Black colour, medium beige head with short retention. No lacing.
Aroma of chocolate, cognac, molasses, notes of raisins, licorice and almonds. I can´t find coffee.
Medium body, sticky creamy texture, flat carbonation.
Taste follows the aroma.
Interesting but I really expected some more.

From the can of indeterminate age, it pours a very dark brown with a lighter brown head that lasts. In the nose, it is coffee, roasted malt and a bit of vanilla and chocolate. In the mouth, incredibly smooth roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Wow!
