Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

Pours a very dark brown in color, we’ll just call it black. A very nice inch of brown head forms on the pour. Smell is heavily roasted malts and some nice coffee. I was expecting a ton of hops in the nose, but thankfully they’re not there. More of the hops show up in the taste, but still, for the better, not as much as was aniticipated. This is much better than I remember it being. I think with some age this would be a very good beer. Comparable to, dare I say it, Bells Expedition. Full on the mouthfeel and nice.

22 oz. bottle. Pours deep black with dark tan head. Nice thin lacing.that sticks around awhile. Smells of coffee, caramel, and alcohol. Medium to heavy in the mouth. Tasted a bit hoppier than l expected for an imperial stout. Very good however and a nice take on the style. Will seek out and drink again as the year winds down.

Inky black with a thick tan head. Smells of alcohol, chocolate, coffee and tastes of the same with some licorice thrown in. Surprisingly heavily hopped for such a heavy stout, but the hops aren’t intrusive and acutally add much to the overall enjoyment level. Absolutely love this one.

Bottle. Pours a black body with a dark tan head. Roasty coffee and chocolate malt, vainlla, with a complex but not cloying hoppiness. I felt this one came together better than the oak aged version.

Good aroma, sweeter than I expected, almost a toasted coffee and caramel with a whiff of the alcohol. Pours super dark, like used motor oil. Impossible to see through. The head is minimal, with a brownish foam. It tastes like an IPA version of Celebrator. The hoppy notes are very apparent at the end as this is certainly full bodied. Based on the pour, I was expecting it to feel much heavier than it was. The aftertaste lingers long after you finish swallowing. Overall, quality beer, although I’m not a huge hop fan. I’d like to try the oak-aged version as a comparison

On draft. Pours a black viscous body, with a finger of mocha head as well as nice lacing. Smells like an chocolate and coffee IPA. The aroma is extremely floral hops. The flavor opens very piney citric hops then roast cacao, caramel, toffee. As it warms up the flavor becomes a little fruity, sweet, and even slightly cinnamon. Also if it gets too warm it becomes phenolic and the hops become cloying, but it’s still a great beer.

Pours as black as motor oil revealing a foamy brown head. Aromas of chocolate, cocoa, hops, toffee, roasted malts and caramel. The flavors here are quite complex. The hops overtake most of the other flavors at first with a piney/citrus note then other flavors come through such as the chocolate, caramel, toffee, coffee and leaves a bitter burnt roasted aftertaste. Nicely done brew all around but my only qualm is that it reminded me more of an IPA rather than an Imperial Stout.

Bomber! Pours black with nice brown head, mostly diminishing, nice lacing. The aroma is big and roasted, lots of chocolate, some fruity esters, some citrus hops, a bit of alcohol. The flavor is very dark bitter chocolate, roasted coffee, dark fruit, caramel, a touch of citrus comes at the end. The texture is thick and creamy, very coating. The finish is long and warming. This was good, so I think I need to have the Oak Age Yeti again cause it sucked the first time around.
