    I don't understand all the love this malt beverage gets, extreme sugary sweetness like Creme Brûlée. Never again, especially at $18 per bomber.

    It truly is a favorite.
    EvilTwin, in general, is proving to be a favorite brewer.

    Hope I can find more at the "hole-in-the-wall" store I bought my last two. :slight_smile:

    Didn't read any responses. Just wanted to chime in and say, the tap version I experienced might have been the best coffee Stout I've ever had , minus BCBS COFFEE. up there with or better than Speedway.

    Must have been a big distribution from Evil Twin...I just found a ton of their beers, including Imperial Biscotti Break, at my local bottle shop, which surprised the hell out of me. For perspective on the scope of this place, they only get one case of KBS when it releases.
    Picked up an Imperial Biscotti Break, a Yin (didn't see Yang, sadly), and a Christmas Eve at a New York City Hotel Room. Which BA lists as retired, and only a 2011 vintage, but I have a bottle from this year, so...?

    I hope you're exaggerating, because I'm really excited to try this now that I finally found it, but I could barely finish Creme Brulee. We'll see...

    He's...kinda exaggerating, in my opinion. It's not as sweet, but it's definitely close. I may not be the best judge because I had no problem putting down Crème Brûlée, but I feel like Biscotti was a bit more balanced. Still, expect a very sweet stout, or you'll be disappointed (and for the prices Evil Twin goes for, you may anyway). Biscotti is the only Evil Twin beer I will buy again.

    I didn't think it was too bad, I paid $13.99 for it. And I'm not afraid of a very sweet stout, as long as it's balanced.

    I liked it better on tap than from the bottle.

    Also, the DeCicco version is better.

    Not a fan of "Even More Jesus"?

    Had some on tap, not my favorite style, but I really enjoyed it. I found it not as sweet as Creme Brulee.

    It was excellent, but not $16 excellent.

    DeCicco's version is far better, but still love the classic!

    I'm disappointed with a lot of Evil Twin's beers (mainly the prices), but Aun Mas, Even More Jesus, Biscotti, and Lil' B are all excellent.

    Wasn't as good as I expected it to be. I have a bunch of Deccico's version at my place but haven't popped one open yet
