My partner was gifted this sweet beast by her sister and hubby (owners of The Enchanted Badger) back in March. After a somewhat bitter day, we figured this would be some sweet reprieve. While I haven't yet enjoyed the standard Imperial Biscotti Break, we did crack into an Imperial Doughnut Break early this year.
Visually, it's pretty standard imperial porter affair, but get within inches of the glass and your nose is met with amazing aromas - it's sweet and tart, with a definitive zing of cherry and soft roasted coffee. There's something else in there as well that I can't quite put my finger on.
My palate is quickly met with a creamy, sultry mouthfeel and mellow chocolate notes. Mild, juicy, and somewhat tart cherry flavors provide a bold taste experience. A tasty, desert inspired brew that's slightly silky, supported by lively, but not prickly, carbonation, and pleasant growing esters further through.
Overall, a wonderful beer from wonderful people - sweet sugars fall into smooth dark bitterness. Yum.
