AndyReynolds (280), Wilder, Kentucky, USA Apr 2, 2009 Bottle that I have been saving since 09/2008 for my 100th rating. Pours a very dark brown, almost black with a nice thick tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. The coffee stands out slightly more when it hits the pallet. The feel is real cream with slightly more cabonation than I would have expected by the look of the beer. I have an Expresso Oak aged Yeti waiting for me, but I don’t know how it could be much better than this. Worth going out of your way to obtain this beer. GodOfThunder (855), Orlando, Florida, USA Mar 31, 2009 A fantastic imperial stout that I can get at any time. Thanks Great Divide! Pours a thick black with a nice roast and a ton of chocolate, dark fruits and oak. Flavors follow, with a great ballance. Great brew. thejon375 (390), Tampa, Florida, USA Mar 31, 2009 Shared with Steve. So I have now had the original, the oak aged and the oak aged espresso, and I think that with these beers the oak aging tames the hoppiness a little bit. I like the oak age better than the original. sjolles85 (77), Tampa, Florida, USA Mar 30, 2009 Poured Black. with a brownish head. Chocolate, roasted coffee, and Oak.. not as hoppy as the regular yeti imperial stout. I still like the oak aged espresso yeti the best out of the bunch shawnm213 (881), South Bend, Indiana, USA Mar 30, 2009 Updated: Sep 29, 2009bottle. pours black with a creamy tan head. Notes of roasted malts, coffee, licorice, bitter chocolate. Great beer! Adam77 (407), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA Mar 30, 2009 Poured oily black with a brown head. Great look. Roasted coffee with a sweeter candy finish. Some hoppy flavor. tpd975 (95), Riverview, Florida, USA Mar 29, 2009 A: Dark black with a medium head that retains nicely and leaves behind some nice lacing. Beautiful!
S: Ahh the smell of an Oaked Stout. Vanilla, Chocolate, Cherries, Brown Sugar and a hint of booze. Wonderful!
T: It tastes as good as it smells. I love the regular Yeti and the oaking pushes this one over the top. There is a big mocha coffee taste with a splash of the vanilla. The oaking leaves a little smokiness behind. Divine!
M: This is a thick beer that coats the mouth and throat which is such a wonderful thing since it lets this baby linger. Super!
D: I put down an entire bottle easily and if I had another I would have been on my way to drunken ecstasy. Bravo!
Overall: If you like the regular version of Yeti do yourself a favor and pick this one up. It is a wonderful stout and the oaking smoothes it out and pushes it to another level. Great Divide has done a great job with this one. It’s worth every cent! Cheers!
