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).

Pours black with nice tan that slowly dissipates to thick film and picture perfect lacing. Nice roasted malt aroma with hints of coffee. Chocolate, coffee and malts up front and a roasty almost smokey finish

Pours as dark as motor oil with a sticky beige head. Aroma is deep and complex roasted malt with coffee, chocolate, BIG licorice notes, a bit of alcohol. The flavour reflects the aroma, with toffee, coffee and chocolate showing up on the palate first which then give way to BIG licorice flavour, and finishing with a touch of hoppy bitterness, and alcohol. The palate is pretty much spot on, with a chewy, syrupy mouthfeel, suits the flavours well, the oak aged version is better, but this is pretty damn f’n good. If you like this beer, you should check out Wellington Imperial Russian Stout if you can, it’s not quite as good, but its close, and it’s affordable.

This beer pours dark, thick, and has a thick, frothy head to match the beer. It smells of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. I had tried the oak aged yeti imperial stout and was excited to try this version. While the flavor of this beer isn’t quite as strong it is probably more clean and maybe even more enjoyable. It tastes of coffee and chocolate that is a bit sweet, but finishes with a bit of a bitter taste. For a high alcohol beer it has almost no noticeable alcohol taste. The beer feels pretty thick and creamy in the mouth, but it doesn’t leave any residue like some thick beers. Overall, this is one of the best imperial stouts I have had.

12 ounce bottle. I have had Great Divides Oak Aged Imperial Stout so I was very excited to try this brew. Pours a completely opaque black with a small brown head. The pour reminded me of the consistancy of motor oil. The aroma was very complex with hints of coffee, chocolate, roasted malts, and hops. The taste followed the same pattern as the aromas with a lot of the complex flavors coming out as the beer warmed. It did finish a bit bitter but was a very enjoyable experience. I would seek this one out again!

If it wasn’t for the glass I drank it in, I think I’d score it differently... in other words, less. Super heavy hoppiness. Strong linger. Very palletable when served correctly. All in all, a standard imperial stout with a little character.

Poured black, with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and the roasted malts. Flavor was intense, bringing all the smells to my palate, adding a hint of caramel, and something I couldn’t identify but didn’t like. The finish was bitter to me, not as smooth as I like my stouts. Very full and heavy body. Worth the try, but will stick with other stouts personally.

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.
