Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

On tap pours a pitch black with little to no aroma. Nice head and lacing in the glass. Has a bold malt body with a smooth finish. Good beer.

Pours like, in the words of my friend, "a tall, dark chocolate handsome man."
Charcoal aroma with some tea and chocolate as well as chicory. Super-creamy silky mouthfeel! Flavors are all about coffee. Nuanced, lingering bitter aftertaste has some licorice too. Enchanting, sublime, smooth, intriguing, dark, and and sexy.

22oz. bottle last night. WOW! Firstly, I can’t believe I found this beer in my hometown, and, furthermore, that it was at a party super-store and was covered in dust. So I came home, dusted it off and cracked it open. Intoxicating, sticky rich aroma of chocolate, molasses, hints of hops, malty sweetness, coffee beans and flowers. Rich, pitch black appearance with a creamy and thick (3-finger) dark brown head that settles slowly and provides for great lacing. The flavor was very complex and embodied all of the great aromas and more, including a hint of black licorice. The 9.5 abv. is hidden very well, yet the slight and comforting edge of alcohol presence remains. The brew warms the stomach nicely. It exhibited a sticky and heavy, yet very smooth, palate that yields well to those rich and creamy aromas and flavors listed above. I bout this beer for 4.50 and would easily pay 10 for the next. Great deal and in no way a let down. I hope I can find this beer again! [RE-RATE] This bad boy was my number one. Lets see how I perceive it now. The aroma is not quite what I remember. Good but a hint of soy. The beer itself is still a pretty big bodied, well balanced Imperial stout. Very drinkable, a bit lighter body than I remember. A bit more hops on the flavor than I remember. Looks like I have a new number one. Good luck NogneO Imperial Stout and PumKing... you too will be rerated some day!

Pours thick black with a brown head. Strong aromas of burnt malts and coffee. Initial flavors are sweet and bitter coffee and caramel. Finish is slightly bitter and hoppy. Thick full body that is oily, creamy with soft carbonation. Alcohol is present but doesn’t take away from the flavor. A delicious beer. I can’t wait to try the oak aged one.

Chocolate/coffee, almost mocha nose. Black with a hint of brown and amber. Similar to the oaked version, just didn’t seem quite as intense in the roasted flavor. Complex, multiple levels of malty sweetness, perfect hop balance. Full-bodied, nice carbonation, alcohol warms everything. Every bit as good as the oaked version, just a little less extreme in some of the characteristics. Absolutely fantastic.

Poured oily pitch black with a deep brown head. Aroma - dark fruit and scotch. Very sweet with notes of grapefruit and cocoa. Some hoppiness, but not as bitter as I expected.

Bottle. Deep black and thick with a beige head. Balck currants in abundance on the nose. Chocolate. Coffee. The flavour is very sweet. Some tangy black currants. Chocolate, roasted coffee beans and dried fruits as well. The finish is burnt malts and a piney bitterness. Fantastic!

From bottle : Pours thick black, with a finger and a half of brown bubbly head..big lacing. Big time roasted coffee and sweet expresso smells. Taste is nice and thick, thats the first thing i notice. Very choclatey and malty, this is really a wonderful tasting beer. Coffee beans start to come through on the back side, with a little bitterness from the hops, and also a slight trace of alcohol. Very coffee tasting aftertaste. Big thick body on this one, very enjoyable, with a slick oily, creamy mouthfeel, i love the way this beer feels.
