    These beers just started to be distributed to my area and i was wondering what i should try. I've heard good things and read reviews but don't know where to start. If pricing wasn't so high i wouldn't even be asking.

    Imperial Biscotti Break is excellent and worth shelling out the money for at least once

    You can tell the Evil Twin from the mustache/goatee, if you ever get confused.
    But I agree, Imperial Biscotti Break is excellent and worth buying.

    I, like you, have resisted due to price. However, I do have it on my wish list if somebody wants to give me a gift. I generally resist all higher priced beer since there are comparable or better beers that are less expensive.

    Love them! Even More Jesus, Ron and the Beast Ryan, Soft DK, Imp. Biscotti Break, Disco beer & BDA Xmas (fresh). I will agree about cost, not the fairest hit to the wallet but worth shelling out for once in a while.

    I think you'll continue to see prices decline "on the beers that a brewed here in the U.S." i.e. those brewed @ Westbrook in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. (example - Falco, ect. @ $2.79 for a 11.2 oz. bottle). That said, "Imperial Biscotti Break" is delicious and well worth splurging on @ least once in our short lifetime.

    Loved every stout/porter I've had from them (Lil B, Imperial Biscotti Break, Aun Mas a Jesus, Aun Mas Cafe Jesus, Soft DK) but my favorite by far from them is Femme Fatale Blanc, Nelson Sauvin hops + brett = amazing.

    Evil Twin - Disco, Even More Jesus, Freudian Slip, Molotov Cocktail, Monk Suffers Serious Sugar Rush On Barbados, Ryan And The Beaster Bunny, Yin, Yang, and Falco are all amazing beers that are worth trying if you see them on the shelves.

    Even More Jesus was awesome but beware the Hipster cans. Overpriced and mediocre.

    Torst opened up in NY, so obviously that has allowed me to try a lot more than I would have otherwise.

    Jeppe really knows how to do world class imperial stouts. Aun Mas, Cafe Aun Mas, Imperial Biscotti, Auld Yin, Naked Lunch, etc.
    Despite being more expensive than other beers in the style, for these, I still think the price is somewhat reasonable and very worth it.

    Low Life and Hipster, which I think consider really amazing in the style, are overpriced.

    Like many have already mentioned, Imperial Biscotti is delicious. Yin is also great as well as the Yin & Yang black and tan. Falco is the only IPA I've yet to have, but good enough for me to polish off the growler on my own, not my style. The pricing can be tough, I treat it like I do Mikkeller, you get what you pay for most of the time.

    Been trying to get my hands on a Imp Biscotti Break but no luck so far. The store near me carries a limited selection and that isn't one of them.

    ISO!

    Good beers, they may be pricey over all but I liked Aun Mas Jesus Café so much that I bought 4 bottles of it despite being $10/11.2oz

    They make a beer called Justin Blåbær. How could you go wrong?

    I like them but I wouldn’t pay a lot of money for them. All around solid but not worth premium and expect the gimmick beers to be really, really over the top.

    I really liked "The Cowboy" not mentioned yet.
