Thick. Malty. Booze. Touch of cocoa and chocolate. This is damn good stuff. One of the best non bourbon stouts.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 humlelala (687) - DENMARK - APR 5, 2013
(65 cl bottle from Systembolaget; Bottled on September 18th 2012; BBD: December 2014) Pours pitch black with creamy toffee head that recedes after a while leaving a little lace. Some regeneration. Aroma is complex and seemingly dominated by hops, oak and roasted malt with hints of coffee. Oily texture, full body, soft carbonation and a long, bitter finish. Taste is complex with an initial impression being the acidity of the roasted malt followed by the bitterness of the hops. In between this are the aromatic interplay of coffee, alcohol and oak. Definitely powerful but also a demanding drink.

Yeti: a mark of quality. This is no exception. Normal Yeti + vanilla + cocoa + figs + burnt sugar. Quite excellent!

4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 ACHops (281) - Seattle, Washington, USA - MAR 21, 2013
Growler from Super Deli Mart, poured into a goblet. Pours viscous pitch black with a dark dirt brown head with a slight reddish tint and of medium thickness. Aroma is dark chocolate, charred malt, old oaky wood and a hint of port-like booze. Taste is dark roasty malts, still harsh though tempered a bit by the oak, dark chocolate. A note of vanilla sweetness on the finish. Lingers bitter afterward. Thick, coating mouthfeel. The oak is not nearly as prominent as the Belgian yeast, chocolate, or espresso versions respectively - it allows the natural flavors of Yeti to really shine. Pretty tough without them right beside each other, but I’d rank this just slightly ahead of the espresso, which was just ahead of the chocolate. Hard to go wrong either way, amazing that this beer can take on so many mods so well.

Black with thick tan head. Nice chocolate and coffee aromas. Sweet, warming alcohol predominates with a hint of roast on the finish. Thick and chewy with little carbonation. A great beer.

Bottle.
Pours black with a small espresso head that rests down to a thin film with tiny, tiny bubbles. Very nice to look at!
Aroma is pretty sweet with vanilla, molasses, some roasted malt and chocolate.
Taste is also sweet as of above at first but then roasted malt and very dark and bitter chocolate and coffee with a quick alcohol sting at the end. From sweet and smooth to bitter and dry, very nice! Oily mouth feel, high carbonation but it’s not fizzy. Long, dry, stingy after taste. A nice take on the regular Yeti!

Bottle a couple years ago. If I am buying Great Divide beer, it is usually oak aged or espresso yeti. This version pours dark black with beige head. Medium to fuller body. Aromas and flavor of cocoa, dark cherry, toffee, roasted grain and some nice hops. Smoother mouth then the original due to the oak aging. Solid imperial stout from the Denver brewer
