4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Aroma of dark chocolate and roast hops. Appears black with a very deep brown head. Tastes like dark chocolate with a with oak finish. Very thick feel but it doesn’t linger uncomfortably. A truly amazing stout.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Complex aroma of oak, spruce, chocolate, raisins, and brown sugar. Black pour with a medium creamy brown head, abundant lacing. Full bodied, alcohol evident. Flavors of prunes, raisins, and charred oak, black cherries up front. Dates and dark chocolate at midpalate. Vaporous and warm peppery plum finish. Fantastically complex, dynamic transitions, and reasonably good balance. Fruitier than expected. Not exactly what I look for in a beer, but it is making me rethink that. Eye opening and distinctive.

Smells like a chocolate cigar dipped in beer. Tastes ridiculously good. Pours a deep chocolate brown like The Ladies Man’s tuxedo. The smell is ridiculous. Taste is very smooth. Hints of raisins, chocolate, caramel, with a coffee finish. Drink this with no regrets.

Pours a deep opaque sable that is just a whisker above black with a thick, persistent tan head. Rich mocha aroma is smoky and slightly sweet with a hint of toffee. Mouth-filling flavor is rich and smoky with tones of unsweet chocolate, fine coffee, molasses and toffee; it is sweet but not cloying and - WHOA! - has a little kick from the cayenne pepper that gets your attention without overwhelming the rest of the flavor. Lively, restless texture is sharp and strongly tingly. It leaves a nice chocolate and molasses finish, while the pepper nips at the tongue. Strongly recommended to stout lovers - and those who like beer that is different.

Drinking from a 650ml bottled secured from the Foodery and defintiely a unique taste. Apearnace, mouthfeel and smell all good but the drinkbility and taste are awesome. Had Oak Aged Yeit two days ago off tap and this bottle of Choclate Oak Aged is so much better. So much less sweet and and lighter than reagular oak aged and the cayenne heat at the end of each taste just puts it over the top. Enjoy!

Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti is a solid black beer with a thick, smooth brown head that has incredible retention and lacing. It has a warm, rich chocolate and vanilla aroma with resiny oak tones. It’s full bodied and very smooth with a light, clean finish. The flavor starts with oak: first resin, then vanilla. Then it’s on to chocolate: first candy bar, then baker’s chocolate. The chocolate bitterness fades in a spicy cayenne rumble. It’s very tasty, very complex and very satisfying. The oak is a little heavy, but this is outstanding.

Dark black with a big long lasting brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, some wood and alcohol. Taste is very rich and bittersweet. Full bodied with a long warming finish.

UPDATED: SEP 11, 2009 Bottle. Pours a magnificent thick dark brown with a dense two finger head and aromas that are far more fruit dominated than I remember from the other Yetis. Lots of plum and a little pineapple have me a bit confused. There is a bit of vanilla and chocolate, too and I’d swear that I got hit with a little red pepper... but then it never came back for a second sucker punch. Flavor is simply magnificent. It has a nice and creamy chocolate stoutiness that then transitions to a spicy heat on the finish that is darn near perfect. I’m gonna need more bottles of this.
