Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

22oz bomber –pours a rich thick chocolate head. Color is black-dark brown. Aroma is sweet and malt. Taste follows. Not to my taste.

Black body with a very dark brown head that sticks like a rolemodel. Quite hoppy aroma comparable to a storm king with a deep maltiness of milk chocolate and light coffee notes. Taste is immensely balanced with a touch of everything required in a good imperial stout. Initially mild chocolate to start up and quickly fades into a very dry roastiness, hoppy finish. Body is thick, ultra-creamy, pretty carbonated. Very neat imperial with a stupendous balance and as much flavor as it should contain. Thanks to Hopsrus for that one!

I knew i would find a beer that i hadnt rated yet, but i didnt think it would be this one since pauline is always going on about it. I opened his and poured one of the best pours iv ever done, jet balck with dark coffee brown head. Aroma is coffee and molasses with a dryness in there also. Taste is similar with maybe some fruits kicking about and another dry finish.

Bottle... This beer rocks! Pours very dark and thick. Small, creamy, tan head. The nose is of cocoa, espresso and all things burnt and dark. Chewy malt with notes of dark chocolate, cherries and espresso. Lightly sweet. Not-quite-balanced by the hop addition. Full-bodied with a syrupy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, bittersweet finish. Wow! I’m impressed!

Pours very thick , like motor oil and very black. Absolutely opaque with a thin light brown head. Pleasant chocolate roasted coffee aroma with some dark fruit complexity. All the carbonation seems to be trapped within the immensely thick body. Swirling the beer kicks up one of the darkest heads I've seen. Starts thick and sweet like molasses, goes through a lightly sour phase and finishes with dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans and plums. Mild hop flavor throughout. Don't know if the bitterness is from the hops or the dark malts. I do detect a nice floral hop aspect though. No noticeable alcohol on the palate. Finishes roasted and sticky sweet. A great imperial stout and by far the best I've had from Great Divide.

pours a very dark black colour with an oily consistance, fine brown tainted head which quickly reduces but leaves a nice lacing, deep aroma of black chocolate, cookies, prune and alcohol, roasted, sweet, very oily and full-bodied, the finish is very long and very bitter with a warming alcohol touch and notes of hazelnut and grapefruit - highly complex and dangerously drinkable; I love it !

Bottle. Thanks joet! This is one big beer. Surprisingly hoppy aroma, loads of aromatic, piney, citric hops. The roasted malt character is definitely hidden in the aroma by the hops. The palate is quite intense, very sweet and very bitter all at the same time. Heavy with flavour, ashy, roasty, burnt malts, and intense hops sweetness and then bitterness. It was little bit over the top perhaps, but i can’t score this badly. Intense stuff.

Absolutely tar-black beer; huge, slightly irregular moccha-brown head. Great (green)grapey-hoppy nose, charcoal, chopped wood, moss, fruity-yeasty, wet straw. Bitter, a tad harsh flavour, both from a shockwave of hops, but also from roasted malts/grains. Fruity flavours as from grapes, lytchee or other exotic fruit. Full bodied, slick, filling. Good "Imperial" stout, very fruity thanks to judicious use of hops, but not really outstanding.
