halfonit (423), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA Oct 7, 2009 Pure black color. Aroma is mainly of chocolate, coffee, roasted, and malty undertones. Taste is full of chocolate, coffee, and toffee. Has a nice chocolaty aftertaste. Another good one from Great Divide. tilldeath (72), Arvada, Colorado, USA Oct 6, 2009 Roasty, malty, dark chocolate bitterness. I have a hard time pulling out the hop bitterness mainly from the dark chocolate malt bitterness I taste. Smooth and alcohol is super well hidden for the ABV on this one. The Oak aged one adds a whole new level of complexity, and my favorite is the espresso oak aged, but original yeti is tried and true. Oh and in case you’re wondering I Believe. GV (16), , Netherlands Oct 5, 2009 Smell of hops - not what I would expect from stout. Hop flavour, some sweet malts, low carbonation, not much alcohol taste considering the strenth of this beer. Nice. Aftertaste of hops, some alcohol and burnt malts.
Frankly, reminds me of De Molen brews, particularly Heil & Zegen. yalnikim (776), Wellington, New Zealand Oct 4, 2009 21/08/2009. 12oz bottle. Sweet strong black porter that, although lovely to drink, lacks that elusive balance of roast and/or drying hop finish to measure up to some of the other great black beers I’ve drunk this southern winter. Lucky me. 13mikey (118), New Hope, Minnesota, USA Oct 3, 2009 12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Pitch black pour with a thick brown head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Aggressive flavor, chocolate notes and the alcohol is definitely present. Thick creamy mouthfeel, smooth lingering finish. Sweetens as it warms. Excellent stout. dand645 (64), Bayonne, New Jersey, USA Oct 1, 2009 beautiful super dark pour with a ton of tan head...great raosty coffee, chocolate flavors, great creamy mouthfeel, with a nice smooth finish Swalden28 (1439), McKinney, Texas, USA Sep 30, 2009 Bottle (around 2 years old) from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a rich, dark brown/black with thick, creamy tan/chocolate head. Aroma of dark roasted grain, coffee, chocolate, some earthiness. Flavor is rich, strong dark roast, very malty, coffee, baking chocolate, musty, strong bitter to balance out the sweetness. Mouth feel is heavy body with medium-high carbonation. Mouth feel is very smooth and drinkable as well.....a very well made strong stout....My wife may help me do naughty things with it tonight! Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!! finol (475), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden Sep 27, 2009 Bottle at Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm.
Great stout! Lots of chocolate, just slightly more rough than its Oak aged sibling.
