Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti

Pours thick, oily, black with a booming dark caramel colored head that leaves behind a nice lacing as it dissipates. Aroma is sweet and mostly cocoa. The flavor is very diverse, the oak is instantly noticeable, followed by a mild chocolate and the unexpected and unique cayenne spiced finish. As I continue to drink this the cayenne intensifies, this beer should be called a mole stout. Great smooth and thick body, certainly an unique and interesting brew, not as good as the regular Oak Aged Yeti but worth a try.

Bottle thanks to daknole: Pours a mostly opaque black with mahogany edges and a frothy, spotty-lacing beige head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and chocolate with some toasty oak and piny hops. Starts with a rich dark caramel and chocolate maltiness with some fresh oaky tang before a warming peppery finish. I’m particularly sensitive to the cayenne pepper which masked any lingering roast or dark chocolate flavors, but the effect seemed to fade as the beer warmed up. Overall pretty well made.

Bottle: pours a dark black with a thin tan head, aroma of coffee, chocolate, malt, oak, taste is bitter coffee, dark chocolate and spice (i guess from the cayenne), not bad but I think it could do without the cayenne.

22oz bottle pours a dark black with a thin off white head. Chocolate, molasses, and roasted malts in the nose. As it warms up spices reveal themselves with an earthiness. Sweet chocolate molasses flavors with a sticky palate more of the earthiness and oakiness and that odd spice in the finish. The cayenne becomes strong and overbearing as this nears room temperature. Good beer, just overdone with the spice. My least favorite of the Yeti versions.

Pours thick motor-oil brown, with a two-finger walnut-brown head, very fine and lasting lacing. Rich malty aromas of espresso, chocolate nibs, molasses, toast, oak and a little bit of grass. Full bodied, zesty, smooth, dry and warming. Dark chocolate, molasses, espresso, vanilla, and a slight accent of hot cayenne in the finish that builds as one drinks. Mildly dry and medium bitter throughout the palate.

Bottle - thanks oteyj. Pours thick black color with a huge, creamy milk chocolate colored head. Thick, weblike lacing. Sweet and chocolatey aroma, a little roast, and the bittersweet yeti hoppiness. Wonderfully smooth flavor is sweet and chocolate filled, light roast, and faint hops. Creamy mouthful. Lingering finish is smooth, chocolatey, and bittersweet. Very nice.

Bottle shared by photomike on BA. Thanks, Mike! Awesome appearance - pitch black with a large creamy brown head that lasts forever and leaves great lacing. Aroma is chocolate, roast, marzipan, coffee, and earth. Flavor is loads of mocha, reminiscent of Southern Tier Mokah, with roasted malt, caramel, oak, mild smoke, and a great cayenne pepper note. Complex and very tasty. Full body and smooth and creamy on the palate. Some bitterness lingers. This is a phenomenal beer overall.

Pours ink black with a dark tan head. Nose is cocoa, faint cayenne, coffee, and hints of oak. Taste is nice with that cayenne heat, dry cocoa mixed with a smooth creamy chocolate.
