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).

Thick pour with a dark tan head. Chocolaty aroma with cherries, wine and alcohol. Bitter alcohol and hops. Coffee grounds. Some sweet chocolate. A tad harsh and this bottle has been aged a year.

22oz bottle. Pours a straight black body with a finger width, creamy, dark brown head. Dissipates at a moderate speed and remains lacy on the glass with a nice swirl left on the surface. Aroma is dominated by rich caramels and toffees. Definitely more sweet than bitter. There is a nice nose of lightly roasted malts, vanilla, chocolate, and a touch of bitter hops and coffee. Some sweet liquor or whiskey aroma too. Taste is hoppy bitter and roasty. Sweet and rich up front flavors of caramel and toffee then nicely balances into a vanilla and chocolate middle before ending piney bitter, roasty, and slightly boozy. More of that whiskey booze taste too in the end leaving a warm feeling in my chest. Full bodied, extremely smooth velvety feel, and a dry, moderately bitter finish. Overall, a fantastic imperial stout. Excellent balance, lots of taste, great aroma, and a hell of a mouthfeel. Damn good beer. Cant wait to try the oak aged next!

smells great. carmalized goodness, sasparilla, fig, sweet, all on a subtle bitersweet chocolate and coffee foundation. Starts sweet and neutral on the front of the tongue. slight biterness on the sides. big full sweet with fig/dates on the top and rolls off the back with coffee and dark chocalate bitterness.

Crushed with Jakebra. Sexy bitch. This ladys got the thickness just like her cousin. One of the most velvety mouthfeels Ive had. Blue Velvet mouthfeel, bra. Everything youd ever want in a Imperial Stout. One awesome experience.

12oz bottle. Pours a rich black, no light passes when held up to a lamp. Starts off with a 1 finger chocolate colored head, that diminishes into an oily collar. Aromas of chocolate, toffee, roasted malts, coffee and some hops. Flavors are chocolate, coffee, and caramel, that finishes with a nice punch of hops. Palate is smooth and velvety, but possibly a little too carbonated. Either way an awesome brew.

On tap at Brasserie 4:20, Roma. Almost black with a light brown, lacing head. Coffee and potent chocolate and rummy flavours and aroma. Full-bodied. A great monster of a beer.

Very rich, complex imperial stout. It stands out because of the hints of honey, toffee, and nougat. Also, the grapefruit/citrusy/piney hops can be detected throughout the beer. They lend a nice resiny, oily mouthfeel. It is a great beer, and easy to drink.
