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).

Black colored with a brown creamy head. Smells like wood, dark chocolate, and vanilla. Tastes like chocolate, bourbon, burnt malts, and wood. Well balanced. Good body. Slightly bitter woody and coffee finish. Great job.

Bottle: The wood, hops, vanilla and malt all leap from the bottle as you open it. (I think it’s the Yeti trying to escape) It pours black as tar. (Aren’t Yetis white?) with a tan head (dirty Yeti?). The flavor is strong (I think I can still taste the oak barrel) but it’s good stuff for sure, lthough, I prefer the non oak sibling...

Bottle. Pours black with a tan head that settles quickly. Huge oak, chocolate, and vanilla aroma backed with light hops and alcohol. The flavor is a nice mix of roasted malts, coffee, and vanilla. The alcohol is slightly heavy in the flavor. Full body with a bitter alcohol aftertaste.

Bottle, 1 year old. Deep black pour with a small, but lasting creamy brown head. Lots of aroma, roasted malt and nuts, wood, coffee, chocolate and alcohol. Similar flavors, with coffee coming through the strongest, and a bit of nuttiness and vanilla. Nice bitter finish with some hops coming through. Really great stuff!

Aroma was less complex than I had expected. Roasted malts but nothing spectacular beyond that. Appearance on the hand was amazing, a nice black, but not as "inky" looking like some, head fit the look, smell and flavor of the beer perfectly. Vanilla coated camp fire wood taste that flows over and coats the tongue and finishes with a slightly bitter end.

Poured a nice silky black color with a light brown head. Aroma is of chocolate, coffee booze and hops. Flavor is very bitter for a stout much like the regular version, but is somewhat covered up in a bad way by the whiskey flavor

Bottle @ the Flying Saucer, Nashville. Saw this on the beer list and nearly shat my pants. Those hours spent perusing the lists of acclaimed beers on ratebeer have paid off, and in imperial stout, to boot. This one pours an outrageously dark brown, with the darkest head coloration I’ve ever seen in a beer. Aroma is a tad underwhelming for an impy, but the flavor does not dissapoint. Chocolate, vanilla, and booze, all over an absolutely decedant palate. A teensy bit hot. I’d like to see how this one ages.

loads of vanilla with carmel tones as well, at mid palate the hops dry things out . this hairy animal will bend you over the campfire while he prepares to waste your soul
