Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti

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

bottle and draft versions at papago... almost black pour with a frothy tan head and a ladder of lacing. definite sour cocoa thing going on in the nose... along with cream, light ash, roast, vanilla, wood and savory yeast. sweet creamy chocolate flavor finishes with a slight sour twinge (from the bottle especially) and a touch of salt. otherwise, the flavor matches the aroma. soft, creamy and rich with a medium to full body. though from the tap it is strangely easy to drink (quickly). the bottled version is quite a bit thinner and weaker than the draft... 7/5/7/4/15/3.8

Bomber from Leukens Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a murky dark brown to black with two finger tan head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of chocolate, caramel, honey, floral hops, yeast, wheat, light roast. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of chocolate, floral hops, caramel, honey, wheat, yeast, ripe dark fruit, hints of toffee and citrus. Generally medium to full body with a pleasing malty hoppy finish.

Bottle sent by BlackForestCO. Thanks Jake. Pour is motor oil with a big creamy tan top. Aroma is bitter chocolate with a hint of caramel. Flavor is dark chocolate and bitter. Has an odd pepper finish... that is my only problem. Alcohol is well hidden but is noticable as it warms.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured black color with an average creamy brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate malty, wood and chocolate aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy dark chocolate sweet flavor with medium to heavy sharp sweet finish of moderate to long duration. Solid complex sweet stout beer.

Bottle. Pours black with a full brown head. Aroma is full of dark chocolate notes with a licorice undertone. Flavor begins sweet with a sweet flavor before transferring into more of a dark chocolate flavor.

At great divide taproom... Pours close to black with reddish brown edges and a light tan head... Very oaky in the aroma with a bit of roasted chocolate... Smooth and creamy roasted chocolate with a fair amount of oak. Very nice and smooth mouthfeel.

Bomber from Lukas Liquors in Lone Tree. Pours thick dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, dark fruits and some hops. Flavor is loaded with roasted malts and chocolate with some vanilla and oak. Silky smooth for all the roasted malt. Not overly chocolaty but it is there. Slight alcohol burn at end but this is a great imperial stout. Really good mouthfeel and carbonation. Really smooth. Another great version of Yeti.

(22oz bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of grass, grapefruit, roastiness, vanilla, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt, chocolate, citrus, grass, and some pepper.
