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).

Pitch black body with a nice thick finger of dark chocolate colored head. Heavy roasted aroma, chocolate and herbal hops. Luscious silky feel. Taste is heavy roasted malt and burned toast up front then dark malt and hop bittering finish.

poured pitch black with beige foam. nose is roasty, choc, some molasses. flavor is coffee choc, vanilla, alcohol is well hidden, and a little hops in there for good measure. Great beer!!1 had had it oak aged but i think i almost prefer this one.

Strong dark malt and coffee like aromas, with hints of toffee, vanilla, and sour cream. Solidly opaque, dark, dark brown with a brown colored head. Flavor is dark rich malt that sticks to the tongue, chocolate, some smoked wood, mild saltiness, and some creaminess. Palate is rich and fairly thick with a good long stout duration and a mildly bitter finish. Very good.

Bottle. Pours oil black and viscous. Brown head. Aroma is chocolate and hops. Flavor is similar with a grapefruit finish. The hop bitterness is a nice balance. Good stuff.

Lives up to the reputation. I like it better than the oak aged version. Great interplay of flavors, not as vinous, more roasty than many imperial stouts. The hopping really comes through in the second half, preventing any sort of syrupy or overly sweet experience. Big but drinkable, a great beer.

22oz. This is a black beer with a tan head, beautiful, but fairly normal pour for the style. Nose is loads of a caramel covered ruby red fruit grapefruit. Body follows with similar, unique combinations of a serious dose of citrus hops and roasted coffee malts. Relatively light mouthfeel, this is a relatively drinkable imperial stout. With such a unique hoppiness this brew deserves an oustanding rating.

Poured from a 22oz bottle brought home from the east coast. Pitch black with a decent mocha tan head. Aromas were smoky and licorice like. super smooth and rich in your palate. Flavors of coffee, roasted malt, hopsand molasses. long bitter finish. traces of alcohol. Great beer.

22 ounce bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop in Durham. Pours black with some reddish brown highlights. 1.5 finger dark brown head. Aroma is hops, toffee, brown sugar and a bit of chocolate. Taste is roasted malts with lemony hops, chocolate and coffee notes with some brown sugar as well. Nicely balanced. Alcohol well hidden. Full bodied.
