Imperial Biscotti Break... I'm speechless!

Heard good things about this for sure, was actually debating on throwing out an ISO for it earlier.

 

I thought it was okay. The vanilla was a little on the artificial side for my liking. I think the price is holding it back, too - $15 is on the high side for this one, IMO.

 

I thought it was very tasty, but it's hard to say it's better than, say, Founders Breakfast Stout... maybe on par with FBS, though (which means really damn good)

 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

I enjoyed it, but probably won't buy it very often because of the price point.

 

How available is this? I'd love to get a bottle, but have no idea of distro, availability, or what to offer. If anybody wants to talk about a trade, or even just has some helpful info, shoot me a BM. Cheers!

 

No doubt a delicious beer, had it on tap a few weeks ago and couldn't believe they really got all of the almond flavor to blend so seamlessly into the porter base, and there was no hint of the 13% ABV. Will definitely buy again.

 

Did you pick one up in the area?

 

Yep. Its been on the shelves at VE for awhile now. Also saw it at 101 Bottles when I stopped there last week.

 

I can't agree more with the comments above. It's an absolutely fantastic stout that rivals some of the best non-barrel aged competitors, as well as some barrel-aged stouts, for that matter. Extremely complex with an outstanding almond characteristic, as afrokaze mentioned, that I haven't found in any other beer. It's a bit on the sweet side, but hell, it's an imperial biscotti stout.

I bought a 32oz growler about a month ago and paid over $30 for it. Definitely pricey, but I'd say it was worth having once.

 

Absolutely loved the beer. I saw it here for about $13.50 and thought it was worth every penny.

 

A 5.5oz snifter at Capones was maybe 6 bucks a month or so ago, but it was unreal. Love this stuff

 

Watch out for the non-imperial biscotti. Had it earlier this week and it was a bastard of a gusher. I stuck my finger in the bottle to stem the eruption (stupid idea!) and ended up painting my cieling a nice touch of mocha. It tasted great, but as several reviews have noted (regular, not imperial), it's got carbonation issues.

 

I just bought a bottle and opened it, I full agree that it is great, and it stole the stop for best coffee stout I have tried. I feel it was worth the every penny. As far as flying under the radar, it is #2 on the Top Beers- New, but doesn't seem to have much hype on the forums.

 

Where did you find it for $13.50?

 

I've also heard the gusher warning for the non imperial version.. Chill it REAL cold and do it over a sink.

 

snagged it on-tap at The Flying Pig in Maine...tasty brew!

 

A great dessert beer!!!! Delicious beer floats!!
