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).

Bottle. 09. New batch with new label. Black... small toffee colored head that faded. Nice aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee. Taste is lots of roasted malts, but it well balanced with a hop bitterness in the after taste. Coffee and chocolate in there as well. texture is thick but not chewy. A very well done beer. Overall a good impy!

Around a year old when sampled. Pours almost completely black with a dark tan head. Nose is full of Chocolate roasted malt. Flavor is full of chocolate sweetness and roastiness. The year of age has done this beer very well. Very thick in mouthfeel. Overall a great beer.

(35.5cl bottle) Black colour with a brown and dense, medium-sized foamy head. Moderately sweet and roasted malty aroma with notes of licorice, dark chocolate, coffee and traces of aromatic citrus-fruity hops far in the background. Bitter flavour with a delicate but balancing sweetness, full bodied with a smooth carbonation. Roasty malt-character with licorice, notes of coffee and chocolate and a fine, very subtle hoppy tail lingering into the dry, roast-malty finish with a lasting aftertaste of coffee and chocolate. Not overly complex but very addictive (26.II.09).

2008 Bottle -Thanks BeersandBlues!...pours a murky black with a large frothy tan head...aroma is massive dark chocolatey malt, pine resin...flavour is similar...I kept waiting for the bitters, but never found them, even finishes a bit sweet... I don’t find this very bitter at all, just a nice, rich roasty chocolate stout...booze is nicely hidden as well....good stuff!

Bottle. Pours a deep dark chocolate brown with a thick frothy mocha colored head. The aroma is great with strong notes of coffee and chocolate. Thick texture. Main flavors evoke thoughts of thick black coffee and dark chocolate. There is a nice balance of hoppy finish. I have had the Oak Aged Yeti too but it was a while back. This one is outstanding and makes me want to revisit the Oak Aged.

Pours black with a frothy mocha head. Cocoa and coffee in the nose. Full bodied with flavors of chocolate and burnt espresso bean. More hops than you would expect from the style, but very good.

For me this is a near-perfect imperial stout. 9.5% ABV and full of roasted, burnt, malty flavor. But it’s all well-balanced with a healthy dose of hops, resulting in 75 IBU’s. Truly an incredible beer.

Local specialty store in Seattle. One year in bottle. Room temp. in snifter. Opens with a poof and scent of pine hops. Deep dark chocolate color with gorgeous antique parchment colored foam. Ultra smooth texture and flavor of tobacco/dark roast coffee followed by resiny hops. Very rich yet smooth and balanced. Long aged-cigar/coffee/dark chocolate/pine tar finish. Everything one could want. Sublime brew.
