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).

330 mL. Pours pitch black with a small dark tan head that thins out to a layer. Fairly good lacing through the drink. Nose of black licorice, cocoa powder, alcohol, tobacco, faint coffee. Taste has some warming alcohol up front with good balancing hops to cover the 9.5% Lots of roasted malt and espresso flavors as well. Aftertaste is bitter, long, and dry. Some oily mouth coating. Slightly acidic and alcoholic for my tastes.

2005 bottle thanks to retorp. Pours dark black with a great tan head. Lots of yellow lacing upon swirling. Aroma is whiskey, chocolate, lots of roasted malt and noticeable alcohol. Flavor is same with big chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and coffee. Nice, and disctinctly different from barrel-aged brother.

2005 bottle, courtesy Degarth. Pitch black pour, huge creamy tan head and tons of lacing. Huge roast in the nose, some alcoholic heat, caramel and slight oak, despite not being oak-aged. Huge chocolate flavors, roasted coffee in the finish, deep elements of caramel. Very smooth. Creamy medium-body, extremely good and smooth.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with little head. Aromas are very fruity, but the figs and and prunes that are present in the nose disappear from the flavor almost completely. Cream, chocolate, oatmeal and tobacco are the driving forces here with alcohol being detectable in the finish.

Bottle with Butters at the First Cellar Reduction. Pours a brown head with dark brown body. Smells of toast and roast. Tastes roasted toasted with notes of espresso and faint chocolate. Great bitterness also. This is big and bold.

Poured a dark black with a fizzy/frothy brown head. Faint aroma of some dark fruits, some tobacco, and some roasty chocolate. Flavor follows but feels more complex than the aroma, with some bitter roasted chocolate, some dark coffee, some sweet pipe tobacco, with a dry finish that is only mildly alocholic. Touch of acidity in the fruit flavor. Not sure if that’s an intended flavor or due to the years I’ve held on to this in my cellar.
