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).

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.

Dark black with a BEAUTIFUL brown creamy head! Yum! I want to dive right in! Very sharp aroma. Complex sweet tangy licorice malts jump out and grab you. Very full bodied and sweet with chocolate and vanilla tones. The "Oak Aged" Yeti is much perferred but I am not complaining.

22oz bombshell. Viscous, jet black pour and some fizzy cappuccino colored head, settling lazily into a fine surface lace and some bubbles on the snifter edges. Absolutely mouthwatering aroma that tantalizes the nose with seeping molasses and dark chocolates. Lots of coffee, chicory as well, with a slight sweet vinous touch. Burnt malty & caramel flavors combine readily with the mocha coffee backbone and I get some sweet cherry and citrus attenuated characters as well. Could have used a bit more bitterness and dry finish however. Great silky mouth feel and a warming alcohol presence. Great stuff, but I’ll take the oak-aged version for sure!

Bottle. Very dark pour with a nice sized cappuccino brown head. Subtle aroma of toffee and licorice. Sweet, malty flavor with nice hop aftertaste. Smooth, thick mouthfeel.

Bottle bought @ Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Pours a thick black colour with a small brown head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, dark fruits, chocolate and some alcohol. Great mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet with roasted malt and caramel, chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, alcohol and bit of smoke. Long lasting sweet roasty finish. Great brew but I do prefer the oak aged version.

Very roasted......chocolate and coffee...in both aroma and flavor. Subtle under-currents of dark sugar, caramel, toffee, etc. Not as bold as Oak-aged, but still a complex beer.

Pours thick, syrupy and black with a molasses colored head. Aromas of brown sugar, toast, and raisins with no detectable hop bouquet. Huge flavors of roasted malt and coffee, with a hint molasses and citrus hops. Substantial alcohol warmth. Very full body with a lip-smacking quality. Long hoppy finish.

Yeti Imperial Stout is excellent. It is an interesting mix of roasted malts, chocolate, and caramel. It pours black with a tan head
