Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

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

Wow! A coffee roast shake! Fruit complements. Nice herbal hop injection -- piney hop bitterness takes over where the bitter roast leaves off. Rich carmels. A bit sticky but not to any detriment. Excellent!

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.

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.

Black color; the head reduces quickly, but leaving a nice lace. The aroma is a wonderful mix of hops and roasted malt, dark chocolate. Dense flavor, fat roasted malt (and caramel, malt) flavor, some cardboard, maybe glue, alcohol feeling; in the end offering notes of cookies, coffee, strong liquorice; powerful body. Prepotent bitterness, in a long final, with a lot of roasted malt. Huge.

Blackest color; dark brown thick head. Strong aroma: malt, roasted malt, light liquorice. Good structure, not too thick, not too oily; extreme roasted malt character, with coffee, liquorice; very strong hopping with hidden aromas.
Chewy coffee; extremely balanced. Give me more!

I sampled the Great Divide Yeti before noon and after finishing a chicory coffee. The coffee and Yeti complimented each other. Impressive look to this imperial stout. Gingerbread colored head and a dark brown sugar color to the body. Further greeted by a roasted aroma. This is one complex imperial stout. Piney green hops blended with caramel, toffee, and malt. Superior beer.

Pretty standard for a top-notch Impy. Heavy roasted-cocoa aroma, densely flavored. Not much head to speak of, actually. Finishes just fine with the usual Impy alcohol sting somewhere back there.

Gread Divide is brewing some impressive beers and this one is among them. Darkest beer I’ve had in a while. Nice tan head forms quick and rises. A hint of red comes from the edge of my glass. Roasted barley, coffee, toffee and chocolate aromas. Full bodied, sweet, but not too, sharp roasted malt flavors - cold coffee, bitter chocolate and a linger dryness. A fantastic beer. Oak age Imperial is good too - had it at the Flying Saucer in San Antonio - what a treat!

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.
