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, Utobeer, London. 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.

Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 02-14-2007 17:30:09 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.

This beer pours a black color with a thin tan head. Aroma is strong chocolate and coffee. the flavors are the same. Very dry and the chocolate lingers for quite some time after the sip. A very good beer! Cheers!

Bottle. Pours motor oil black with 2 finger brown head. Nose is molasses, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans and alcohol. Palate is creamy with brown sugar, caramel malt, roasted barley, cocoa and coffee. Slight hop bite in the finish. Great stout – just as good as the Oaked version.
