Smells of hot cocoa, light vanilla, raw sugar and bitter roasted hops; almost asparagus like. Flavor is bitter on top then burnt sugar and deep roast coffee and more bitterness to finish. Mouthfeel is rich and even, comforting from beginning to end. Nice brew which to me taste a little overly roasty, but very nice overall. Thanks Great Divide. 2009 22 oz.

Dec 8, 2009 Jet black color with a dark brown espresso fluffy head. Aroma has a lot of coffee, roasted malts, molasses and nuts. Flavor is sweet, caramel, toast, chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Thick body, smooth and creamy. A bit too bitter on the finish for me between the hops and burnt coffee.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours black with dark tan foam. The intense hops and malt character are almost overwhelming at first sip. The malts give it a burnt toffee flavor, countered by the bitter hops. It is very sweet, with a creamy texture and a long finish. A great stout.

Dec 3, 2009 Tasted this the day after the original Yeti. Poured about the same... pitch black with a thick caramel head. Left awesome lacing all the way down. Aroma of hops, roasted malts, vanilla bean, and coffee. Aroma was similar to the yeti but with less hops, but the taste just exploded. Man from the first couple sips I was just enthralled in this beer. Its smooth and refreshing and delicious and everything I want in a stout. The complex taste and smoother finish than the original make me like this one more. Great beer.

Nov 29, 2009 Solid black with a thick brown head. Aroma of milk chocolate, butter, and an earthy spice. Taste is a perfect balance of sweet milk chocolate and bitter mocha/coffee/dark chocolate mixed with a smooth creamy texture.

Nov 28, 2009 Bomber served in a snifter. Set out of the refrigerator to warm before tasting. Good choice. Beautiful pour. Dark brown/black in color with the light brown head filling half the glass with tight bubbles. They shortly fade leaving plenty of lacing behind. Roasty aroma of chocolate, coffee, dough, and hops. Smells thick, tastes thicker. Full bodied. Chocolate and coffee here as well. Plenty of hops to balance the roasted malts. Thick, chewy, sticky, creamy mouthfeel and an ultra long, slightly bitter finish. Superb.

Nov 25, 2009 Brown-black pour with a very sticky tan head, amazing lacing. Aroma is mostly caramel, anything roasted here hides behind the barrel. Flavor similarly caramelized, balance between the sweet toffee flavors and complexity in the background, tannins, creme brulee, heavy roast, licorice. Honestly there’s a bit too much going on in terms of balance to the sweet flavors, a bit more of a mishmash than a really complex beer. Full bodied, warm, great sipping beer with a lot of bourbon character.
