Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

Bottle: 2/21/08; only a few months old. Black w/ a small dark brown head. Lots and lots of chocolate in this bad boy. Very roasted as well, just too my liking. Caramel has a pretty strong presence as well. This still has some hops in it. Mouthfeel is fairly thick, but nice and silky, not at all sticky. Coffee comes through pretty strong in the finish mixing nicely with the little bit of hops bitterness. My only aroma complaint would be the presence of a dirt like smell. Excellent beer.

Pours an opaque black with a rich, creamy head that leaves pretty solid lacing. The aroma is packed with tart caramels and roasted malts. The flavor comes through with a rather pleasant presence of hops I wasn’t expecting that leaves a citrusy finish. It even manages a nice creamy, thick-ish mouthfeel. Overall, impressed, but it’s not outstanding.

22 oz bottle, at least 2 years old. Almost black with a sudsy, sticky tan head. Nose is licorice and coffee; prunes with a bit of pine. Medium full body with a coating mouthfeel and a slight, watery tang. Taste is milk chocolate, grapes and brown sugar. Finishes with dark roast and citrus peel, pith. No problem drinking this but seems to have lost something with aging.

2006. Poured black with creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate and some coffee. Rich coffee and chocolate mixed flavors. Some alcohol burn in the finish. Doesn’t really age well.

Bomber shared with my Girlfriend and others at a party. Pours black with a 2 finger light brown head. Nose is silly sweet. Taste is sweet adn robust and malty, very good not quite as good as its big brother but good.

Nice tan head,not thick but solid,dark opaque with red tinge,aroma,malty,coffee and fruit aroma(grapefruit).Flavour,bitter then a mellow coffee and citric like flavour,tangy on the tongue at the finish and bitter,bitter is good but no sweetness at the end a little dissappointing.

Pit black with a nice brown chocolate lasting but a bit rough head. Clearly Great Divide’ in aroma, with tons of piney hops overwhelming a nice rich roastiness. Very rough in mouth, oily, hard to swallow. Really a dry end with more than an alcoholic note. Way too exaggerated for my likings.

There is an aroma of bread, malt, caramel and alcohol. The beer is dark and has a brown head which last for a long time. The flavor is full of bread, malt and alcohol with a smoked aftertaste. Great balance.
