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. Poured a deep black with a two finger brown head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate and malt. Flavor is coffee with a chocolate finish. Body is full and smooth with soft carbonation.

Draft at Kclinger’s Pub. Nearly black with a small brown head. Very aromatic with coffee, chocolate, raisin, malt, a little hops. Flavor is very complex and a little hoppy. Nice slightly bitter hops on the finish. Great beer.

Solid black pour with large dark tan head. Heavy roast, coffee, mocha, port aromas. Tastes similarly with power in each flavor, alcohol is lingering the whole time. Full bodied to say the least. I was a little surprised by the hop bitterness later on. In your face with the espresso and bitter staying with you a while. Barrel does mellow it out, but it has it’s drawbacks also, so I like them about equally. Both are definetely agers.

Draught. Pours black with a nice, fluffy dark brown head that left delicate lacing all down the glass. Nose is cocoa and espresso, roasty, with the hops lending a slightly acidic note to the roastiness. Taste matches - espresso, roasty, hint of cocoa, with a dry, slightly acidic hop finish that hints of pine. Good, but the acidity and roastiness are better when slightly checked by the smooth vanilla of the oaked version. Just a bit rough around the edges for my taste. Mouthfeel has just a bit of carbonation bite, thick, but not quite as viscous as i would have liked.

Pours pure black color, with 2 finger dark brown head with lacing. Strong chocolate, toffee, and burnt smell. Taste is almost the same with malt and lots of hop taste some alcohol noticed but would not think 9.5%. This is one of my new favorite beers the flavors blend well and is a very well made imperial stout.

Medium brown head leaves lacing on the glass. Nearly opaque black body with red translucence. Roasty bready deep malt aroma with raisin and hop notes. Dryish sweetish firm malty roasty taste with pine needle raisin notes. Sharpish, edgy. Dry roasty pine needle hop notes. Nice, but definitely improves when oak aged. (0.1l taster draft at EBF ’08.)

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Very dark foam. Starts strong-malty and prickly, notes of coffee and liquorice, woody finish. A bit too prickly I think, but still good!
