Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout

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

Huge delicious head! Great lacing and head retention. This beer pours thick and smooth. Nose: Robust coffee, dark fruits, belgian chocolate, licorise, and molassis(stawberry, and a mild pomogranite freshness) Flavor: Oak, hops, coffee, caramel, and chocolate. Mild alcohol, and a big malty fullness. Huge mouth feel, big hoppy and molassis finish!

Pours a deep, teriyaki sauce color with a HUGE, creamy, espresso colored head. Nose full of hops, lots of oak, chocolate, licorice, and bitter coffee. Gorgeous, smooth, and creamy, this beer has notes of heavy oak, chocolate, coffee, toffee, and caramel beautifully accented by hops on the tip of the tongue. Gorgeous. The hops really pull the flavor off the tongue, which highlights some of its best characteristics in what is an incredibly complex array of flavors.

22oz brown glass pry-top. No freshness date. Appearance: Pours a thick black with a slight tan head that leaves lots of spotting as it recedes. Nose: Beautiful black coffee beans, dark chocolate, rich vanilla cream, espresso, dried vanilla bean, and some sweet toasted oak notes. Palate: Medium-bodied and moderately rich. Lots of sweet black chocolate notes up front mingle with some coffee and cream in the middle and then fades out to more bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, and finally an espresso-like bitterness. Notes: An incredibly complex beer. The flavors evolve from first sip to mid-palate to way out on the super-long finish. Nicely made and an improvement on the original Yeti. Highly recommend it to stout and espresso lovers.

Bottled on 12.18.08. Jet black color with tan head. Wonderful aroma of roasted malt, molasses, hops, coconut and dark chocolate. This is crazy thick with a full, rich and slightly sweet roasted malt taste with coffee and dark chocolate notes that give way to a lingering bitterness. Long aftertaste. This has a lot going on and that is how I like it. Snow day in Denver and it might of been wise to of shared this bomber with someone else.

2005. Softer wood, smooth and easy. Dark brown, easy again. Increasing wood, builds to greatness.

Bomber. This brew pours a coffee black and is topped elegantly with a frothy caramel head that lasts. Good lacing. At first pour my eyes widen and I feel as if I’m back in my childhood and I’m about to partake in a gigantic bowl of chocolate ice cream. Cream, toffee, and chocolate on the nose. Upon first sip my palate is swept away by perfection. Perfect carbonation and body. Tones of chocolate, roasted coffee, and malt explode in my mouth. A perfect balance of hoppy bitterness and malt sweetness. Yet again the boys at The Great Divide rise above the rest. Have another? I shall keep a bottle on hand at all times...

Thick. Black. Sticky. Simply amazing. 22 oz bomber poured a beautiful dark caramel head. Taste of chocolate and vanilla with a mild oak undertone. Always a favorite!

Poured a thick black with a brown creamy head. The head eventually went down to just a film and left a light amount of lacing. As with the regular Yeti the aroma was primarily chocolate and again on the mild side. The beer had a thick creamy texture and an initial mild chocolate flavor. The flavor developed a strong dark chocolate bitterness and a nice alcohol warming. The flavor was a bit more mellow that the regular Yeti. The finish maintained a good hop bite. Also an excellent beer!!
