4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours black with thin tan head that quickly disappears. Aromas of chocolate, oak, and a hint of cayenne. Strong chocolate presence along with vanilla, oak, and a smidgen of heat.

I like this one a lot especially when I have the smell of a wood fire to go with it. It can be a little boozy which was expected out of a RIS but overall this is a great beer and is worth a try.

This beer is an opaque black color with a small brown head that fades to a ring at a medium pace, and the aroma is reminiscent of cocoa, roasted malts, and a hint of espresso. The taste is divine with its superb balance of mild bitterness, mild umami, and mild sweet, and the palate combines a oily texture, bitter finish, full body, and soft carbonation.

On tap at Rocket City Brewfest. Dark brown, almost black with a thick creamy head and a rich aroma. Smelled of roasted coffee and peat. Rich flavor - dark chocolate, coffee, malt, some vanilla and a bit of spice. Ric, full feel in the mouth; slightly bitter aftertaste with a hint of pepper.

This one is the best yeti. Wood, vanilla, chocolate, roast and coffe in both taste and aroma.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours very dark with a extremely dark head. I taste hints of hops, chocolate, and oak. Beer is very full in the mouth. Has some lacing.

Nice aroma of both sweet and bitter chocolate, vanilla, roast. The appearance is deep black, light brown head. The flavor is chocolate, vanilla, licorice, wood, roast. The finish is roast, vanilla, pepper, light booze. Medium/thick in body. Creamy mouthfeel. Nicely done.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 2012 vintage. Pours a thick and near-black color with a moderate tan head. Nose is a little chocolatey with some dark fruit elements to it. Taste is slightly sweet, but nice and roasty. Interesting.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
(Apr 2011): moins agreable au nez que les 2 autres mais probablement celle qui a le mieux préservé sa complexité au niveau des saveurs.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Lots of chocolate aroma and taste dominate this brew. Pours dark with a brown head that fades to a clinging ring. Aroma is chocolate (dark and bitter), toasted malt, vanilla, and faint spice. Taste is bittersweet chocolate, toasted malts, with hints of vanilla and spice. Finishes is smooth, creamy, complex, bitter chocolate, with a faint alcohol note in the shadow. This brew is excellent, and if you like chocolate you’re gonna love it. My one critique is that the oak yeti and oak espresso yeti worked out a little better than this one; however, all of them are total aces.
