Imperial Biscotti Break

A must buy. Fantastic beer. One of the best non- barrel aged imperial stouts I've ever had.

 

That beer is doo doo

 

So does this beer have much trade value? Seems like it is well distributed.

 

The DeCicco's variant w. Italian hazelnuts and chili would probably be hold more trade weight, as it's only available in NY. And it tastes 10x better than the original IBB

 

Man I bet a barrel aged version would be awesome

 

when is the next batch of IBB releasing?

 

Some just went out recently. We brew it every 4-6 weeks

 

It's $13 around Chicago.

 

I think it's a great beer, but unfortunately (as is usually the case with Evil Twin beer (and Mikkeller)) it's priced too high. Whatever price you find it at, $12-$20, it's most certainly worth trying it once, but after that it's not something I would buy again unless the price dips a bit. Great beer and all, but there are beers the same price that I believe are better (or my palate prefers at least).

 

Foreshadowing. Ill be keeping an eye out for it.

 

hopefully aged in biscotti barrels to quiet the haters

 

What's a biscotti barrel?

 

Is that the original version?
Do you guys brew the original and DeCicco's variant?

 

Yes we do the imperial biscotti. We did regular biscotti once in '11 but since then it has been only imperial version. We also did decicco version but so far that's a one off

Edit: there was a regular biscotti break before imperial biscotti break. Now all we do is imperial

For the lazy people. I'm 99.9% sure this version was brewed by another brewery for ET before we did it but the imperial version has only been done by us

 

Any chance this beer ever gets put in 4 packs? I've been seeing a lot other Evil Twin beers in 4 packs and would love to see this trend continue

 

I doubt it. I've heard rumor that the place in CT that does the 12oz bottles for evil twin doesn't want to use brett or put things in their fermenters/brite tanks. For example they do Ryan and the beaster bunny which is the same as Ron and the beast Ryan that we do but theirs is without brett. Then lil b is the same base as imperial biscotti but without the almonds and vanilla added to the brite tank which we do. Whether its true or not I'm not 100%
