Poured nearly as dark as the abyss, with a great looking head. Anticipated a good thing here....and wasn’t too disappointed. Aroma was coffee and chocolate tinged with a healthy dose of fruit and hop. Delicieux. Creamy, rich mouthfeel. Flavour was sweetish and contained more of the chacteristics of the aroma with added roasted malt and toffee. Dryish hoppy finish. Top notch stout. arrogantb (700), Denver, Colorado, USA

12 oz. bottle dated 04/2006 so this is not quite a year old. The pour is really inky black and looks like motor oil. The head was a large brown coffee-colored fluff. The smell was roasty and hoppy at the same time. The beer really laced the glass well and thickly I might add. The taste was very hoppy, chocolatey, and I also tasted cookie-dough in there. The mouthfeel was a little thin and one of the only drawbacks to this beer. I prefer the Oak-Aged Yeti because the oak really seems to tame the hops and mellow the beer. I like hoppy beers but not hoppy stouts. Anyway, this is still a winner but get the Oaked if you see them side-by-side in the liquor store.
Update 12/23/07
Mouthfeel has firmed up, nice aromas, no doughy flavor this time, roasty with a bitterness that lasts, I bet this can age awhile longer. dyetube (402), Dallas, Texas, USA
