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
Biscotti Break Imperial Stout -brewed with coffee beans and natural flavors
added. I picked up this bottle at one of my favorite bottle shops in the Bay
Area, Royal Liquors in San Jose (here).
If you get a chance, head in there and tell ‘em that Mark from NorCal Beer Blog
sent you. You’ll be glad you did – they have an incredible selection!
From the Evil Twin Brewing website: “The Roman
Empire had a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ - festive food culture, extravagant
architecture and spectacular live entertainment. Some might argue the Emperors
were brutal, mad and hungry for power, and the people vain when taking baths
and working out all day. Listen - that’s still all part of the secret Imperial
ingredient - keep it cool, clean, confident, arrogant and flamboyant. Forza
Imperiale.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
black with no head and spotty lacing.
Aroma: Dark chocolate,
roasted coffee, caramel with a touch of vanilla and a bready or cookie scent.
Taste: Dark
chocolate, espresso, roasted and caramel malts, biscuit, slightly sweet and a
touch of vanilla.
Overall: Thick, rich,
smooth and delicious, Evil Twin Brewing Imperial Biscotti Break Imperial Stout
is another winner from this brewer. This
11.5% ABV offering from Evil Twin Brewing is balanced and incredibly
drinkable. Another out of the park beverage!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
