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).

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.

Solid IS. Dark, thick pour, little lacey head, and a little too boozy. Chocolate is the big overtone, followed by burnt toast and a not-too-bitter finish.

Bottle at home ... Deep Deep black with thin brown bubbly head ... Rich chocolate malt ... Sweet rich chocolate malts ... little caramel lots or roast malts ... quite a bit of spirit... little american hop shows through but not unbalancing it ...though the hoppyness builds a bit much over time... I suspect that this is no worse than the oak aged (from memory) yet i suspect this is a more representative score.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep dark brownish black with 3a creamy brown soapy head. Aromas of Chocolate, Coffee and malt are all present. Roasted malt flavor and dry chocolate really stick out in the taste of this one. The Oaked version is much better, but this is also a very nice impy stout.

22oz bomber, not really impressed a bit of oxidation has occurred, some roasty chocolate flavors come through overtop of anything else, lots of lots of dark chocolate.. still a tint of oxidation, not real pine so to speak... not bad, just not what i was hoping for.
