Commercial Description:
Crack open Yeti Imperial Stout’s sophisticated sibling -- Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. Although these beers come from the same clan, they have entirely different personalities. Aging on a blend of French and toasted oak chips infuses a subtle oak and vanilla character into Yeti’s already intense chocolate, roasted coffee malt flavor and hugely assertive hop profile. Who says you can’t tame a Yeti? 75 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours deep, deep chocolate brown; almost black, with a rich, thick amber head. Aroma of heavy chocolate, coffee, roasted peppers, and hints of vanilla. Huge, full body with a thick, spicy finish. Outrageous stout. Highly recommended.

Smells of hot cocoa, light vanilla, raw sugar and bitter roasted hops; almost asparagus like. Flavor is bitter on top then burnt sugar and deep roast coffee and more bitterness to finish. Mouthfeel is rich and even, comforting from beginning to end. Nice brew which to me taste a little overly roasty, but very nice overall. Thanks Great Divide. 2009 22 oz.

Bottle. Pitch black with a thick brown head. Lots of chocolate in aroma with vanilla, bourbon, light coffee and roasted notes. Sweet flavour with lots of chocolate, roasted malt, oak, vanilla and light coffee notes. Smooth and creamy texture. Very lovely Impy stout.

Pours a midnight black with a nice brown head that laces perfectly. It is a little intimidating at first when you take a long sniff inside the snifter. I wasn’t sure if this didnt have TOO much flavor. The first sip put me at ease. Unbelievable character and body, smoky oak, then deep dark chocolate, then bitter, very bitter finish. One of the best imperial stouts ive had the pleasure to sample.

at first glance this is perhaps an overrated imperial stout. smells pretty good, coffee, chocolate, very oaky. pours wonderfully, jet black with a brown little head. tastes amazing to say the least... complex does not begin to explain this. the most prominent taste is oak by far but as you swallow it turns into a dark chocolatey, almost raspberry type taste. black coffee at 7am with a shot of aged kentucky bourbon. the finish is roasty and dark, yet really hoppy and bitter. this stuff is truly great in every way.
