    I've had some good Evil Twin. That said, perchance their prices are a bit of a turn-off. They're not so bad in Denmark, though. I don't know if jumping straight to a Mikkeller comparison is warranted.

    Some of it is great, some of it is good, some of it sucks, but no doubt is it all overpriced.

    Has anyone tried their beers? Do you see it often in your area, or is it rare?

    Over priced but some decent and some really good beers. But over priced.

    And I will say this: none of their beers are worth the price!

    I've had many, most quite good...but pricy. He brews, it seems, more new beers than repeated beers, so availability could be unpredictable. There's a few that are rarer/highly prized (I.E. Imperial Biscotti Break) but as a whole I'd say fairly wide availability where distributed.

    I took it for granted, because I got 2 bottles as a birthday gift, but they are expensive. I've had Imperial Biscotti Break, Yin, and Yin & Yang (on tap), all of which were awesome. Unfortunately everything is expensive.

    I haven't tried any yet, but they have a bunch of them on the shelf at my local stop. Even LiL' B is still hanging around. No reason I have not tried any, just haven't.

    I've had the Before, During, and After Christmas and it was good. They are expensive, but worth a try.

    Had several on tap and in bottle at the bar I used to frequent before I moved and most were good but I wouldn't call any spectacular. Got a bottle of Imperial Biscotti Break I'm planning to open during the Bama game this weekend and I'm really excited about it.

    What prices are you talking about? What's the average you're paying for a 22oz?

    Imperial Biscotti Break is out of this world delicious. Is it $17 delicious? As others have said, no. Apparently "out of this world" is worth a little less...somewhere around $11, if I had to put a number on it. Still, I'm glad I tried it, and would encourage others to do so if the bottle and price were split amongst friends.

    Imperial Biscotti Break is one of the best non-barrel aged stouts I've ever had. It's too expensive to drink all the time at the $15 a bomber I paid but it's definitely worth trying.

    They get distribution in my area at places like Whole Foods so it's cheaper if you can find it there. Imperial Biscotti break was $13 and was $16 at my local beer shop.

    Where I'm from, I can get FFF bombers, New Glarus 750s, Southern Tier bombers, Sierra Nevada bombers, Lagunitas bombers, some Mikkeller (Beer Geek Breakfast for sure), some Hoppin' Frog bombers, and Clown Shoes bombers all for $10 or less.

    Evil Twin 12 oz. bottles of Yin and Yang are around $6, and the bombers are all at least $15.

    That five dollars may not seem like much, but in the long run it adds up.

    For the most part I am not a big fan. However, Biscotti Break is amazing!

    They can really vary. Imperial Biscotti Break 22oz was about $15, the regular Biscotti about $12. Most 12oz bottles are in the $6 area, but Even More Jesus was $12. It depends, really. They're imported, so price is just going to be high, unfortunately.

    I'd agree they are priced high, but Imperial Biscotti Break is a ballin' beer and I think worth the price. I saw a 6 pack of some canned stuff from them that was like $25 somewhere.. I laughed like hell at that though, for a normal pale ale.

    I have had ibb and reg bb and didnt have to pay for them. I wouldnt pay the prices people are putting up here for it though. I lucked out and bought a bottle of Even More Jesus on a heavy discount but would never pay 1% per ozz for that beer (and it was better than ibb)
