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).

(Bottled@Stockholm Beer Festival 2005) Almost pitch black with beige, lacy head. Very malty, smooth, licoricey and mildly fruity aroma. Dark-bready, extremely malty and quite bitter flavor with hints of roasted coffee and licorice. Very full-bodied, bitter and slicky palate with almost no carbonation. A nice and roasty, licoricey imperial stout. Slightly harsh bitterness for perfection.

Pours a viscous black with a milk chocolate head that bubbles forever, leaving a ring and good lacing. Smells of an vanilla, oak, and raw cocoa. It fills the mouth with a delightful creaminess hiding the alcohol bite well. First oak aged stout I’ve had, and I love it coming from belgian strong ales and barley wines. I’ll be picking up more bottles of this.

Great aroma with hoppiness balanced nicely with a big blast of oak. Taste is also balanced with very complex malt flavor. I get strong flavor of dark fruit such as plum and raisin. The oak seems more assertive than other beers in this style that I’ve tried, but I find this to balance perfectly. This one is a winner.

It’s clear why this is one of the best... a beer with distinct character of aroma, flavor and balance.... the hops provide an fruity sweet acidic balance to the dark roast of malts... smooth and alcohol is almost non existant. This goes great with cheesecake.

This has got to be one of my most favorite imperial stouts of all time. Rich thick head, excellent lacing. Aroma of chocolate, toffee, vanilla, wood. Extra creamy smooth taste. The alcohol bite is covered well by the wood chips. One of the best I’ve had. I highly recommend pairing this with vanilla icecream. Oh so good. Better than Old Rasputin and Stone IRS and Ten Fidy.
