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).

$4.99/22oz’er. Pours like year old motor oil; thick,black and viscous. Dark brown tight head prevails. Moderate aromas of dark chocolate, espresso and roasted malt emmanate from the snifter. Mouthfeel replicates the visual on the pour, thick and oily. Overwhelming blast of bitter-sweet black malts, coffee, and chocolate assault the palate, immediately sliding into a crisp, dry hoppy bitterness which very successfully balances this delicious brew out quite nicely. Admirably well done!!

Wow. Poured deep black with the darkest head that I have seen since the reverend Redhook Double Black Stout. Very enticing aroma. Lovely mouthfeel. I wonder if this one will age well. I plan on finding out. One of the best Imperial Stouts that I have ever had, hands down.

Perhaps the most inviting beer I have ever seen. Just beautiful with its very dark color and incredibly thick, rich, and dark head. Aroma is almost as inviting and is full of malt. First taste brings roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and hops for tartness. Just wonderful! Mouth feel is smooth as a prom queen’s thighs. Yeti is an amazing balance of boldness and subtleness. This beer is so good it could be called inspiring. Drinking it is close to a religious experience.

Complex, citrus and resinous hop biospheres merging over roasty, dark chocolate lands...A masterful proliferation of cereals and molasses keeps both worlds within grasp and evokes raucous sensuality...Even throughout, a galant glass proffering gorgeous gluttony...

This Imperial pours with a black as night body topped by a medium thick to thick brown head with a good amount of lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with notes of licorice, alcohol and a sweet smokiness. A slight touch of chocolate is also noticed. The flavor is sweet and full of roasted malt with notes of chocolate, coffee, alcohol and anise. The brew is thick anf full bodied yet smooth.

This was a damn good Imperial Stout. Pitch black appearance with a large tan head. The aroma was smoke and chocolate. The flavor was very complex with some smoke, licorice, chocolate, raisins, and vanilla. This is certainly one of the more bitter Impys Ive tasted. The aftertaste leaves a nice sweet chocolate coat on your tounge. Very good! Thanks LordGorlock!!!

Thanks Eyedrinkale. Deep dark brown in color with a nice fluffy tan head. Roasty chocolate aroma. Malty. Full bodied. . Smooth flavors. The roasty flavor lingers throughout the whole beer. Sweet dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee like flavors and aroma. Enjoyable.

As black as can be, brownish head. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee. Plenty of hops to counteract all the roasted and malt flavors, with plenty of bite in the aftertaste. A really nice brew.
