Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti

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

22. capped and foiled. pours a beautiful black with a big thick chunk dark brown mousse of creamy bubbly goodness. nice bold coffee, chocolate, bourbon, oak, and vanilla nose. thick, creamy, slightly chalky body. delectable chocolate, coffee, bourbon, vanilla, oak, roast, and dark fruit mid palate. long sticky roasty chocolate finish. worth repeating.

bomber poured into a snifter.... pitch black pour with a huge 3 finger tan head.... absolute beauty. aromas of mild chocolate, a touch of oak, and big roasted malts... I was hoping for a bit more out of the aroma on this one.... not quite up to par with the regular oak aged yeti.... medium body with slight chocolate notes on the sides with a huge spice presence up front that carries through to the finish... this spice dominates the palate and really conquers the beer.... i don’t get much chocolate from this with the spice being so powerful... with that said, the spice adds a very nice and interesting element to the beer, but is turned up a bit too much.... wish there was more chocolate on this one and less spice.... overall a nice twist of an imperial stout, but its leaving me a bit confused and disappointed.

On tap at Papago. Pours pitch black with a one finger creamy tan head. The nose is roasted malt, baker’s chocolate, cocoa and vanilla flavored coffee. The taste is lots of wood, burnt malt, bitter chocolate, coffee and a slight boozy finish. Medium semi-creamy mouthfeel. Another delicious Yeti variation.

Rich and chocolaty, roasted, sweet, and most enjoyably a slight hot cayenne bite in the finish. I think this is outstanding. Very interesting!

22 oz bottle split with Beerlando and others. Rich dark malts on the nose, tar, resin, pine, chocolate, coffee liquor all in the aroma. Pours black with a dense tan head. Rich bitter chocolate right off the bat, with a strong hop presence, oaky, vanilla, coffee liquor, bitter dark chocolate in the flavor. Very rich and decadent, a dessert in a glass!

Pretty thin-bodied for the yeti, but still packed with flavor and aroma. Easy to sip, even on a hot summer day. Flavors and aromas of bourbon, vanilla, dark chocolate, and a weird spiciness I can’t put my finger on. Definitely not from hops, but something else. Not mind-blowing, but I dug it more than the coffee.

pours a jet black with a medium size brown head, and great lacing. smell is of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, some coffee, licorice, and a touch of vanilla. taste is creamy, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, a roastiness, vanilla bean, and a little woody, end is dry and a little bitter.

bottle thanks to thirdeye11. poured black with a beige head. aroma of dark roast, chocolate, coffee, and oak. flavor was dark roast, chocolate, coffee, spicy pepper, and dry oak. not a big fan of this yeti.
