Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Evil Twin Brewing Imperial
Doughnut Break - Imperial Porter - Malt Beverage Brewed with Coffee and with
Natural Flavors Added. I purchased this bottle at Royal Liquors (here)
in San Jose.
From the Evil Twin Brewing website: “Did the flavors
of sugar and bitter sweet almonds and coffee in Imperial Biscotti Break also
make you sentimental? Now we topped it off with insane amounts of doughnuts.
This all-time American favorite is making it’s way back into the spotlight and
we at Evil Twin Brewing are not letting a tasty trend pass us by without taking
it to the next level. Drink it with great gusto - Forza Doughnuts.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
very dark brown, nearly black with a thin mocha colored head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Dark
chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, toffee, vanilla, caramel, doughy and somehow
glazed.
Taste: Dough,
chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, coffee, caramel and a certain sugary sweet
vibe remanicient of a donut glaze.
Overall: Sweet
and outstanding, Evil Twin Brewing Imperial Doughnut Break is the kind of beer
I want lots of, but I haven’t been able to find since I purchased this bottle
at Royal Liquors. This 11.5% ABV
offering is tasty and a great dessert beer (much like Southern Tier Brewing
Company Crème Brûlée Imperial Milk Stout – reviewed here).
If you see this one, grab it if you’re a fan of the style. You’ll be glad you did!
Cheers!
