Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Clear bronze with a good yellowish head. Raisins meets citrussy hops in the nose- a pleasant blend. Rich nuts and raisins flavours, vinous qualities, some alcohol. Sirupy texture, full-bodied and rich. An extremely well-made beer- perfectly harmonious, but could it be more daring?

Jan 11, 2008 Bottle thanks to thecheeseman! Aroma is full of chocolate malts and biscuity grainy hints. Taste is balanced sweet chocolate malts and again grainy biscuityness, which i like, balanced with a citrus hop resiny backing. Nice but too much roasty malt character.

Jan 10, 2008 pours dark amber with an off-white head. The aroma offers a foreshadowing of the big malt and hops flavors that I’m sure are to come. Wow, the taste has a dark roasted malt character that I wasn’t expecting from the armoa. Nice surprise. Solid brew

Jan 10, 2008 Bottle: Clear, deep amber coloured, smaller, lacy off-white head, solid resinous hoppy nose, later underpinned by sweet dark and toasted malt; solid bitter-sweet flavour, full bodied; lingering resinous-hoppy finish, supported by sweet dark malt and followed by adry hoppy aftertaste. Good medicine.......

Jan 9, 2008 Pours a beautiful, rich, amber/copper colour, reminiscent of Bells Third Coast Ale. Caramel, alcohol and malt dominate the nose. Smooth, syrupy mouthfeel and a robust hop flavour that also hints of leather, malt, cream and alcohol. An interesting beer that proves to be dangerously drinkable.

Jan 9, 2008 Bottle. Slightly cloudy redish brown color with a slim, tan head. Nice aroma of roasted coffee beans, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is an interesting blend of hoppy bitterness and nuts. Nicely blended, clean finish. This is a winner of a winter brew.

Jan 9, 2008 12 oz with a Nov. 09, 2006 bottling date stamped on the case.
Clear mahogany color with a 2 finger khaki head, nice lacing.
Strong smell of blackened malts, roasted nuts, chocolate with a whiff of fresh hops.
Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel.
Great taste follows the smell with rich, roasted malts and nuts with a lightly bitter hop and alcohol taste to finish.
Only 8 days in the bottle it’s one of the freshest brews I’ve tried.
This beer also ages quite well if you’re the cellaring type.
A very good winter brew here.

Jan 8, 2008 Updated: Mar 1, 2008Scrumptious! Rich malt taste with a thin surprisingly thin body. After tasting Yeti, I was expecting a thicker body from Great Divide. This is a yummy brew!
