| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 14, 2004 Yummmmmm. Opaque black with nice tan head. Nose was coffee, chocolate, some anise, bit of citrus. Full bodied and intense flavored. Flavor held some sweetness and the robust coffee/chocolate notes of the style. Very warm and rewarding and satisfying. Excellent stout.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 27, 2008 12oz from Sam’s, Durham. Much as I prefer the oak-aged version, the Yeti is nothing to fuck with. Nice café au lait head on top of this rich, chewy black pour. Thick and sludgy, just like the Yeti might move through the arctic wastes. Big notes of burnt coffee and dark chocolate, very inviting. A lively hop presence is there when the beer’s young, giving the brew even more of a bitter edge (though somehow not at the expense of the malts). Very satisfying when you’re in the mood for an especially aggressive imperial stout. Palidor19 (1798), Brandon, Florida, USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jul 15, 2006 Pitch black with thick head. Sweet liquorice aroma with roasty, almost smoked notes. Thick mouthfeel. Flavour is roasted, sweet and very bitter, all at once, but still very balanced. Loved it! sunevdj (1788), Copenhagen OE, Denmark
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 29, 2006 Pours black with a dark brown head. Very sweet. Has a strong caramel/sugary effect in the back of the throat. Port-like. nice warming alcohol in the finish. I actually prefer this one to the oak aged version. rudolf (1787), Buffalo, New York, USA

A flavor of hops, coffee, liqurice, roasted malt and chocolate notes. A flavor of liqurice, hops, roasted malt, coffee and weak chocolate. A very nice stout! tjthresh (1782), Greenfield, Indiana, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 28, 2006 Updated: Dec 9, 2006Served in a snifter @ 59 degrees. Pours the color of Hershey’s chocolate syrup, with a creamy head the resembles an over cooked flan. Completely opaque, and dense. Truck loads of American hop aroma. Grapefruit, and evergreen to be precise. Burnt sugar, Carmel, dried fruits are apparent. Each drink is bliss. The hop character starts with ’shock and awe’ type attack, then a big slap of rich dark chocolate takes the middle, and finishes like a bitter cup of gas station joe with chocolate flavoring. Top that off with a mouth filling body, and a slight alcohol burn, and you have a staple beer for any stout lover.
