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).

Dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts. Taste of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, mild sweet malt. Finishes up with some roasted malt bitterness. Pretty good imp stout.

I had this beer with BeerBaron617 today. It’s the last of our road trip beers. I must say that though I am not giving it the highest rating, it is still a pretty good beer. I am not the hugest fan of Imperial Stouts, however I do respect them for their flavors and craft. This beer poured thick in the glass an opaque black brown. It had a toffee colored head that was quite nice. Aroma on this one is really good - its caramelly sweet and definitely has molasses and toffee notes in it as well. Taste is a bit strong. The combination of 75 IBU’s and the fact that it’s an Imperial, make it a bit much for me. It is tasty - sweet, with a bit of a bitter aftertaste, yet its just too much for me.

12 oz. bottle shared with MereLikesBeer. I’ll start off by saying this beer is epic. It’s aroma is amazing with tons of caramel and toffee notes, just as the description states. The flavor completely and obediently follows suit, with a huge caramel note and chocolate on the finish. I would say this is my new favorite stout for the time being. Cheers!!

Pours like motor oil, just looks awesome. Really bright, bitter chocolate and roasty flavor. Something different and "herbaceous" in there too...want to say mint, but that’s not it. Interesting differentiator. Hops come through later and tie it all together. Really nice beer.

This is another great IMP stout. While I haven’t tried its big brother yet I’m sure it is just as great. This beer is dark, thick and is a beer to enjoy. It tastes of coffee, dark chocolate and slightly bitter. The hops are definitely underplayed which can be nice. Highly recommend this beer and will always try to keep it on hand.

Verre de 4 oz, d’une bouteille, au Mondial 2009. Arômes de chocolat et de houblon résineux. Robe noire opaque, belle mousse mocha qui tient bien et effervescence assez faible. Très ronde et maltée, le malt chocolat et des touches de mélasse accompagnent un houblon résineux très présent et intense. Finale amère de houblon et de torréfaction. Une excellente et intense Imperial Stout.

Aroma - Coffee, sweet roasted malts, floral hops, chocolate. Appearance - black with a medium tan head. Flavor - sweet malts, coffee, dark chocolate, very nice bitter hops. Palate - full body, creamy, soft carbonation, long finish, bitter. Overall - Awesome beer that hits the spot. It’s very good but I think I like the oak aged yeti a little better.

12 oz. bottle at Coasters. Pours black, as expected, with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, cocoa, and coffee. Taste of strong coffee and dark chocolate mostly. Moderate hop finish. Another excellent impy stout in what has become my favorite series of beers.
