Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti

Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

Old note: Bottle form Sam’s Sweet, oak and chocolate. Not as strong as I’d of thought. Blackish brown color, good head, spotty lace. Bitter sweet flavor. Thick body, creamy mouthfeel, bitter dry finish. Well, I thought it came across as too much oak, seemed to mute other flavors on aroma, chocolate was stronger on flavor. didn’t come together for me

Solid black with a thick creamy brown head. Aroma is milk chocolate, alcohol, and a hop spice. Taste is sweet milk chocolate and this bottle has more alcohol flavor noticeable than the other Yeti’s in a side by side tasting. Has a white pepper spicy finish. Very rich and flavorful.

22 ounce bottle. One of the better chocolate stouts i have had. Great chocolate aroma and taste.

22oz bomber. Pours a deep drown almost black with a menacing, dark brown head that has good retention and leaves spots of lacing. Aroma is pears, Mayan chocolate. Mostly spiced, baked, Bosc pears. Taste really is just overwhelmed by cayenne pepper. There is a good authentic Mayan chocolate presence, but it gets lost in sort of the fruity sweetness of this beer. I don’t taste any of the oak or vanilla in this. Sad.

Tarry black with a tall, tan head. Fluid aromas of yeast, bitter chocolate, malted milk and greens. First bitter bite, and a heated finish. Surprisingly light, with a distinct chocolate finish. Green, piney, vegetal hops are a bit of a clash with the delicate malt flavors. Though the beer could use more balance and less alcohol, it works as a light stout with a spicy hop presence.

Drank it with my wife in a beautiful hotel in Antigua Guatemala. We paired it with a delicious sea salt and chili dark chocolate produced in Antigua. Smooth, light bodied, silky, chocolate, some bitterness not much, might miss the hops, but a great alternative.

Bomber. Pours opaque black with large, dense tan head that leaves a wall of lacing. The aroma is dark chocolate, vanilla, a little bit of soy sauce, oak, marshmallow creme, and a hint of licorice. The flavor is vanilla and chocolate right off the bat. It starts off rather sweet, but tones down fairly quickly. A mellow, creamy sweetness then comes in with the first real inklings of hops. The finish has a little bit of earthy bitterness to it, along with a noticeable oak character. There’s something in there that I assume is the cayenne, but I would not have noticed it if I didn’t know it was there. Quite a tasty beer.
