Jun 13, 2009 Bottle shared at 2009 DLD: Pitch black with a small but lasting frothy head, okay lace. The aroma has notes of walnuts, chocolate, smoke, vanilla, bourbon, oak, molasses, and tobacco. The taste is barrel influenced for sure with lots of bourbon character almost overpowering the base malts and hops. A tad hot on the palate as well. Fair amount of coffee and molasses like twang upon the finish. The mouth feel is aggressive and warming. While a good brew, I would much rather have the Oak Aged or Regular Yeti over this.

Jun 5, 2009 (Sample Date: 3/15/2009 Source:Other) Bottle 66/470 obtained at brewery. Caramel, dark fruits some whiskey, oak, and lots of roast in the aroma. Black with a small tan head. Deep dark fruit with whiskey and wood which is nicely balanced with a roasty sweetness. Vanilla and chocolate come out in a sweet finish with moderate bitterness. End includes a slightly astringent roasty warming. Fantastic.

Flavor is roasted barley, bourbon barrel, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, malt, mouthfeel is creamy and a lot of nice barrel qualities are well integrated with this beer. An awesome beer made even more awesome by the barrels. Great Stuff.

May 2, 2009 Shared by pantanap at DLD, thanks Kan! Black botdy with a decent brown head. The aroma is plenty of sweet chocolate and roasted malt. I didn’t get tons of alcohol presence in the nose--which I expected. The flavor is really nice with the whiskey coming through, along with the chocolate and roasted tastes. Thick palate with nice carbonation level.

May 1, 2009 750ml bottle. thanks to shane and shared at dlday 09... thicker black pour with a moderate tan head. no surprises there.... lots of bourbon on the nose with vanilla and coconut accents which i really enjoy.... flavors don’t disappoint as well and continue on where the aroma left off. bourbon, vanilla, coconut, and chocolate which really all combined together pretty well. low to medium carbonation and a nice mouthfeel. need a crack at another one of these.
