Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

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.

12oz bottle: pours black as balck can be with a quich dissipating brown head. aroma if i were bind folded and smelled this beer i would say it was an IPA aroma of hops and hints of malt. flavor tells a different story the darkness comes through some chocolate some roastes flavors and not so much hop bite as the aroma was telling. its a good stout pretty complex just not strong enough to be a top rated beer in my mind. it has all the flavors of a great stout its just not enough of it.
