Commercial Description:
Crack open Yeti Imperial Stout’s sophisticated sibling -- Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. Although these beers come from the same clan, they have entirely different personalities. Aging on a blend of French and toasted oak chips infuses a subtle oak and vanilla character into Yeti’s already intense chocolate, roasted coffee malt flavor and hugely assertive hop profile. Who says you can’t tame a Yeti? 75 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Thick opaque black pour that leads to a two finger brown head with good retention leaving nice looking lace on the glass. Rich dark chocolate, woody vanilla, coffee bean aroma. Flavor is more dark chocolate, leading to the oak and vanilla, and finishing with hoppy bitterness and a little burn from the 9.5% abv. Medium-heavy body with average carbonation. Another home run beer by Great Divide.

Dark. Very rich aromas, raisins and rum quite full on. Super rich on the tongue with great roasted malts and some hoppiness. Big wood and almost green pine flavours. Some kiwi maybe? Darned intense. Wow this is heady. A really great beer. Roasty, toasty and highly boozy.

Bottle from Lone Hill Liquor.. Shared with JoeTheYounger and Mspindler..Pours black with a brown head..Smell is some chocolate, booze and a ton of hops. This is the hoppiest smelling imperial stout that I have tried so far..Flavor is dark chocolate, coffee and hops. Very tasty but I think I’m partial to the regular Yeti.

Bottle shared by DuffmanSW while helping JoeTheYounger move. Pours pitch black with an orangeish brown head. Arioma is chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla, some old hops and a decent amount of booze. Flavor is very oaky, vanilla, espresso, roasty and even a little burnt toast. finishes dry and has a good amount of hop bitterness. Creamy and thick with low carbonation.

Overall a good imperial stout, smoother than its regular offering. Decent Imperial stout that doesn’t have any lasting impressions making it more memorable compared to others.

220z bottle compliments of DuffmanSW, shared with mspindler. Solid 1 inch thick head. Hop aroma. Black as an asshole. Spicy hoppy flavor. You can taste the oak that it was aged in.

Opaque black on the pour with dark brown head that retians well and leaves nice lace. Nose is rich with nougat and dark chocolate. Palate is big on roasty/chocolatey flavors, with a citrusy hop flavor that cuts through the roasty flavors too much for me. I don’t like fruit in my chocolate desserts - just give me the chocolate, fudge, whatever. Here the citrusy hops come through too much and influence the overall flavor away from being a sweet dessert stout.

black with a thick tan head. Aroma is hoppy, chocolate and coffee are also present. Hops, coffee, chocolate, toffee, and vanilla. I was expecting a tad more oak presence. Very creamy, slightly carbonated. Very nice.
