The original Imperial Biscotti Break recipe was produced at Westbrook Brewing Co. in South Carolina before the brand eventually established Evil Twin NYC in Ridgewood, Queens. The beer is brewed with coffee beans, cacao nibs, vanilla, almond, and biscotti flavoring, building its complexity through ingredient layering rather than barrel aging or pastry-stout excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshly roasted espresso dominates the nose, followed by vanilla-almond sweetness and a backdrop of dark roasted malt.

Bittersweet dark chocolate, cinnamon, and amaretto-like warmth develop through a thick, velvety body, while the 11.5% ABV provides a warming foundation without harsh alcohol burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and bittersweet, with roasted grain, espresso, and lingering dark chocolate anchoring a syrupy mouthfeel. Low, creamy carbonation carries the flavors out slowly, leaving a dry cocoa and coffee roast impression that invites the next sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eHow to Drink Biscotti Break\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at cellar temperature — around 50–55°F — in a snifter or tulip glass to concentrate the aromatic layers of espresso and chocolate.

Vanilla and cinnamon add warmth and spice beneath the dominant roast character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Biscotti Break compare to Founders KBS?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are elite-tier American imperial stouts, but KBS derives much of its complexity from bourbon barrel aging, while Imperial Biscotti Break achieves its depth through coffee, cacao, vanilla, and almond without barrel influence. Biscotti Break also tends to be more widely available year-round, whereas KBS follows a limited annual release schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Biscotti Break good for sipping neat?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 11.5% ABV with a heavy, velvety body and layered flavor profile, Imperial Biscotti Break is specifically designed for slow, contemplative sipping rather than casual drinking. Its intensity and richness make it more comparable to a digestif than a session beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Biscotti Break made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperial Biscotti Break is produced by Evil Twin Brewing, which was founded as a gypsy brewing operation by Danish brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø. The brand is now headquartered in Ridgewood, Queens, New York, with its dedicated production facility, Evil Twin NYC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Biscotti Break?\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark chocolate truffles amplify the cacao and espresso notes; tiramisu mirrors the coffee-vanilla-almond flavor architecture almost exactly; aged Gouda or Gruyère provides a salty, caramelized counterpoint to the malt sweetness; smoked brisket matches the roasted intensity; and crème brûlée bridges the vanilla and bittersweet chocolate elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Biscotti Break come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e This product is sold as a 4-pack of 16 oz (pint) cans, totaling 64 oz of beer per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Biscotti Break worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperial Biscotti Break positions as a premium craft imperial stout, and its 96-point BeerAdvocate rating, 11.5% ABV, and multi-adjunct recipe place it among the top-tier options in its category — competitive with bourbon barrel-aged stouts that often carry higher price tags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Biscotti Break?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImperial Biscotti Break stands apart from the crowded American imperial stout field by building its entire flavor identity around a single, fully realized concept — Italian biscotti — using coffee, cacao nibs, vanilla, and almond rather than relying on barrel aging for complexity. Its 96-point BeerAdvocate score across thousands of reviews places it in genuinely rarefied company for a non-barrel-aged stout. The gypsy-brewing origin story means the recipe was tested and refined across multiple world-class facilities before settling into permanent production in Queens. For drinkers who want a dessert stout with intellectual depth rather than sugary novelty, this remains one of the most respected options available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Evil Twin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47393521533097,"sku":"42482","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/evil-twin-evil-twin-imperial-biscotti-break-4pk-bottle.webp?v=1787888878"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/evil-twin.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
