Commercial Description:
Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout is an onslaught of the senses. An almost viscous, inky-black brew, Yeti opens with a massive, roasty, chocolate, coffee malt flavor that eventually gives way to rich toffee and burnt caramel notes. Packed with an enormous quantity of American hops, Yeti's hop profile reveals a slightly citrusy, piney, and wonderfully dry hoppy finish. 75 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Bomber...wel bomblet (650ml) from the local Hannaford’s market. Not to shabby for $3.99. Dark and black with a one inch tall thick dens head. Yeah this fits the mold quite well. Body begins in the expected large and bold fashion and takes an un expected turn when the bitternes comes chiefly from burnt black patent crispiness. only in the finish can I dicern the mellow steady hoppiness from the choco-patent mountain. A sneaky critter that blends into the surroundings and then hits you with a rock.. in other words the alcohol snuck up o my ass and settled me comfortably in my chair.

You could fill a pen up with this stuff and literally write with it. Almost pure black and very thick. Guiness only wishes they could make a stout this good. Great beer. I bought a case of 22 oz bottles and I’m a trappist quad drinker.

Motor oil black por with a mocha brown head. Roated malts, bitterness, chocolate. Taste is the aroma times 10. Roasted malt, coffee, sweetness, light bitter finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Damn good. This beer is worth moving to Denver. Great lacing. Flavor gets better as it warms. Can’t wait to try the oak aged yeti- it is chilling as I type.. Thick mouthfeel. The beer clings to the side of the glass.

Aroma of this beer is pure delight - thick and oily, strongly of fine coffee with hints of molasses, miso and unsweetened chocolate. It pours a deep, rich, warm, opaque sable with a very thick and fairly persistent tan head. Flavor does not disappoint - it is strongly chocolaty with coffee and malty tones and hints of toffee plus a bit of a hoppy bitter bite. Texture is thick and smooth, and fairly tingly so you know that you’re drinking a fine beer. Almost perfection, this one!

bomber from grape & gourmet. pours an oily, thick black with a nice, half-inch dark tan head with a ring of lace. aroma is very nice with big, roasted nutty malts, chocolate, sweet toffee, and a big, earthy hop presence and maybe a touch of mango and cherry. flavor is delicious as well huge, slightly sweet, roasted malts and chocolate up front, followed by notes of toasted almond, coffee, molasses, and bourbon with a slightly spicy, bitter, herbal hop finish. palate is full bodied and velvety smooth with low carbonation. overall, an excellent imperial stout, but not quite epic.

Pours a jet black with a delicious looking dark tan head that leaves lace. Aroma is amazingly roasty, with notes of coffee and sweeter malt as well. Flavor is quite bitter to begin with, there’s clearly a lot of hops in here. However as it warms you get much more of a molasses/toffee sweetness and of course lots of roast/burnt notes. Mouthfeel is just chewy as hell, it drinks like syrup. Finishes with a bitter burnt astringency, like burnt toast.
