very black color if there is such a thing black is black right.There was a nice small head that was a creamy dark brown that lasted a very long time.malty hoppy aroma with a mild hint of chocolate and coffee maybe mildly sweet with a mild sour side,and light caramel.The flavor is very malty with a very,very,nice hop presence and chocolate or cocoa mildly sweet at first then a nice dark chocolate flavor comes through,maybe a light coffe taste as well.The after taste is malty,hops and mildly bitter,this is a fantastic brew,damn what a great trade this worked out to be.Thanks go out to Raindog for this brew,sorry the brews never made it to the weekend but hey it was well worth the enoremous buzz i have right now. Your the man when it comes to fine brews.

22 oz split with Dan. Completely black with a light brown head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate with heavy roast up front giving way to sweet dark and caramel malts. Roasty and hoppy bitter finish throughout, with a very full body and light alcohol.

22 oz bottle 2004 yeti-pours jet black with a nice brown head-excellent! fantastic aroma like a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie. flavrors show huge roasted and chocolate notes with some hops in the finish. This beer is excellent! Ok, im going on a rant here. This beer is very under-rated IMO. Tons of chocolate notes that meld with caramel and toffee to create the taste of a milky way candy bar. For me, this is a top 10 imperial stout! Very under-rated. This will age very nicely and cant wait to see how it turns out. 22 oz bottle 2003-pours almost pitch black with a minimal tan head. nice looking brew. robust flavors of coffee and chocolate. no alcohol detected. well balanced and solid. I need to get more of this stuff. thanks to whaleman for sharing this fine CO brew

22 oz bomber special thanks to 123456Green. Darkest pour with a minimal brown head. Aroams are very sweet. Orange, Cherry, dried fruit, some sweet chocolate. More chocolate covered cherries after a few sniffs. Lots of chocolate in the flavor. Much roastiness up front. Some alcohol warming in the middle along with some more dark fruit. A not so bitter but hoppy finish is wonderful. Excellent

Bottle at No. 5. Black with a brown head, ok lacings. Heavy malty (licorice, smoke) and hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet and bitter, yet smooth. Ful body, creamy, heavy in alcohol.

Yeti 04 - Pitch black, creamy dark tan head. The nose on this killer brew is loads of citric fruits, roasted cocoa, vanilla, toffee, charred coffee beans, and a few vinous notes upon swirling in the snifter. Flavor is similar, but the IBU’s shine thru with a nice hoppy citirc fruit kick that is balanced by the rich malty roasted coffee and caramel undertones. Full bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry, hoppy finish. Another "big beer" winner from Great Divide. Thanks again Brian.

Uh, wooooo. Deep viscous black with a beautiful blood red head. Rich nose, chocolate and loads of malts, lots of molasses and plums. Very good flavor, strong and very vinous. Huge roasted malts, lots of chocolate, a pleasing hint of bitterness at the end. Full and creamy, yet very quaffable. Quite spectacular.

Gentle hiss as the cap comes off, followed by a thick black pour. Head varies from time to time, but it’s always dark tan in color. Vibrant caramel, black currant, burnt rubber, smoke, roasty double espresso, dark unsweetened chocolate and cola comprise the aroma. Flavor begins with a heavy heap of French roasted coffee. Dark chocolate - abandoned by sugar - helps to compliment the expressive IBUs, giving a smooth yet abrasive dosage with each sip. The word "epitome" comes to mind for those imperials aiming to have a high IBU stat and embody coffee qualities. That being said, I’d like a touch more malt sweetness, but I’m not complaining. IBUs fill in the roll vacated by carbonation. Heavy, residual coffee blackening on the palate with an amped-up balance quotient. Finishes like a handful of coffee grinds. Damn enjoyable.
