Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

22oz bottle. Poured a dark black color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of roast, chocolate, hoppy, dark fruits, and light coffee. Tastes of roast, hops, chocolate, dark fruits, coffee, and caramel. Lacing left on the glass.

Black beer with a small, tan head. A floral aroma that is not that strong. Very good flavor - a rich, mighty stout - malty sweeet, but not too sugary, hints of cherries and chocolate, and with a hoppy finish. This is a little reminiscent of an abbey ale. A very tasty stout - but not worth the 10 US$ for a 22 ounce bottle that I had to pay.

From a bottle. pours very dark and has some amber come through when held up to a light. Aroma is malty, chocolate, coffee, and some caramel along with noticible hops. The first sip reveals much of what I smelled. Surprising this beer is pretty hoppy... alot more than other imperial stouts I’ve had. Great beer and the oak aged one is even better.

Great Divide is a highly underrated brewery. They produce a number of extremely well-crafted beers. I don’t think I’ve tried one I didn’t appreciate. This beer lacks the uniqueness or complexity of its alter-ego, Oak-Aged Yeti Imperial Stout but is delicious non-the-less. This gives you everything you would expect in a stout...black, small tan head...roasted coffee, toffee, and bitter chocolate. This one won’t disappoint.

Bottle. Pours black with a thin brown head. Mostly bittersweet nose with notes of roasted malt, coffee, some chocolate and a hint of citrusy hops. A moderately full mouthfeel, could be better. Tastes of burnt wood, roasted malt, coffee, caramel and dark chocolate. Solid hop presence is noticeable. An outstanding beer.

Bottle at Microbar, Clapham, 14th Jan 08. Pours ink black with little head. Knockout aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, blackcurrant, plums and berries. Similar flavour - endless rich dark fruit flavours and then a long bitter finish. Palate is smooth as silk. Awesome beer!

A nice dark colour. Smooth yet darke with a touch of sweetness. Espresso-esque malty, chocolate-like

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a great black with a medium brown head and an aroma of chocolate and sweet roasted malt. The initial taste is sweet creamy and after that roasted malts, coffee and dark chocolate come in. A medium-long bitter finish. Great beer!
