Imperial Biscotti Break

I was about to say the same, but I got caught up reading everyone's ridiculous reviews. One dope said "cake batter" and talked about marshmallow and roasted nuts. I swear, these idiots have a preconceived hope of what a beer will taste like and due to inexperience, actually manifest fictitious thoughts until their brain actually believes it's own lies.
Biscotti Break is a mess and tastes nothing like biscotti, and since I had to teach a couple of people what biscotti even is, by tradition, in last weeks thread, I feel safe concluding that the majority of these hipsters willing to speak up have absolutely no knowledge of what they are tasting. Everybody thinks they're cool for drinking all of these rare beers, but really they're all sheep: uneducated and herded. Ask yourself "why do I like Biscotti Break" and know that it tastes nothing like any of the entities that is common practice for a biscotti recipe, then tell me if you know enough about traditional beer recipes and slightly above average imperial stouts, because I know you are new when you say anything more than "Biscotti Break is a slightly above average imperial stout and a poor example of what it is supposed to embody." Also, stop smoking cigarettes and lying to yourself.

 

"uneducated", "hipster", "smoker", "pathological liar", "idiot"

 

Use the reply button to quote me and don't add words when doing so.

 

Way too sweet from what I remember.

 

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about; people will defend a beer, but not even understand what the profile of the beer is supposed to be. Sure, Biscotti Break is a half decent imperial stout, but only somebody with a mental complex would say it's great and exactly what the name, description, and intention suggests.

 

Wow...what bunch of elistist beer snobs here.....If you don't care for a beer how 'bout just saying 'not my style'...Name calling and personal attacks? Holy crap!

 

Its not elitism; it's the brewer lying to us and people believing the lies. "Not my style" wouldn't make any sense since I'm in love with imperial stouts. What would make sense is exactly what I said above in "Evil Twin dropped the ball on this beer and I'm here to make it public so that instead of being graded as a standard imperial stout, its graded as a failure of a biscotti forward taste profile." Wake up.

 

Maybe they called it biscotti break because it's intended to pair with a biscotti.

That doesn't make it any better. Just sayin.

 

if i can convince just one idiot hipster, that the flavor profile on evil twin's biscotti break, is a vicious lie, than i have left this world a better place

 

I can't believe this is still a live issue.

 

Yeah, but how do you really feel?


I may be a noob, uneducated hipster, but I am also not one who took points off because it obviously had none of the almond liqueurish flavoring of a biscotti, just as I don't take points off because i don't taste milk in my milk stout.

What I liked about it was it had a very vivid assortment of flavors that really seemed to go well together. It is a very sweet beer, and I ordinarily don't like very sweet beers because they end up building a cloying resin on palate, or end syrupy in a mediciny kind of way. To me the roast in it never got too "aspiriny" and was an excellent counterpoint to the sweet that the more it opened up in my glass, the more I liked it (unlike, say, Dark Lord, which goes from bad to undrinkably chaotic and sweet, or Creme Brulee which has nothing to buffer the oversweetness). I found the complexity of it was not muddled, but rather was balanced, and it changed character as it warmed in a good way, another feature I like in better beers, that they can change character and succeed in their multiple iterations of taste.

This is why there are so many beers, we all can find ones we enjoy.

 

I feel you. Imagine my anguish when I found out that Blaecorn Unidragon didn't contain bits of real unidragons.

 

...but if I named a beer "Peanutbutter and jelly fudge" wouldn't you be mad if it didn't taste like peanutbutter or jelly? If I said "want some corn on the cob and then gave you mashed potatoes instead, wouldn't you be a little pissed? If you order your steak medium-rare, but you got tuna, wouldn't you tell your waiter?

 

when i tasted biscotti break with a friend:

me: this is a good beer. it tastes nothing like biscotti.
friend: yeah.

and guys don't judge pbr x strawb-fanta, it's extremely well balanced, people that disagree are sheep.

 

If you can't end up getting your hands on a bottle, send me your address and a pre-paid shipping label and a bottle is all yours.

 

This would seem to demand an affirmative answer, but the fact is that when I review a beer I do it based on my enjoyment of it, and would I recommend it. But of course I would expect there to be peanut in my peanut beer.

Let me put it this way, and ask you this: If you bought a 9 iron, and it turned out to be one of the best pitching wedges you have used, but not such a good 9 iron, would you recommend it as a good club to friends? Or decide not to recommend it because it failed to do what you expected? Me? I would recommend it and tell friends use it as a pitching wedge, don't hit it long, and I recommend IBB and tell friends don't expect it to taste like biscotti.

 

You obviously have never read Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.

 

If I order a 9 Iron and its not what I expected, but works as a pitching wedge, and the best one at that, I could find solace or resell it. Also, the reviews would reflect it being a terrible 9. Unfortunately, Biscotti Break has an assertive name and description and tons of great reviews from people that don't understand it doesn't represent biscotti in the slightest. I also cannot use the beer for something else, nor resell an opened bottle. I was deceived and screwed.

 

Plus, no one sells a 9 iron that functions as the best PW.

 

You guys. One time I had RR Blind Pig IPA and it I didn't pick up any pork in it, so I gave it a 2. And how the hell am I even supposed to know what a blind pig tastes like? You guys.

I kid, I kid.
