Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout

Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

Pours a dark black with light brown head. Aroma of expresso, roasted caramel malt, vanilla, oak, dark fruit. Similar taste, excellent blend of chocolate, expresso, sweet malts, hops, oak. Nice lingering finish. Exceptional imperial stout.

Excellent flavors of espresso and oak with a hiny of vanilla. Thick and awesome. Great beer.

[Bomber] Toffee and chocolate on the nose, raisin as well. Coffee here as well. The chocolate here predominates for flavor. I really get the heat right after it. Malty then kicks in, with some tobacco and hints of vanilla. An obviously well-made beer, but I can’t elevate it to the level of previous rater

Everyone loves this beer I unfortunely do not. It lack diminsion and complexity. Maybe it just my palate. Pitch black color that has the same appearance of Bell’s expedition stout but lacks all other properties.

Bottle @ Saraveza... Poured black with a light brown, creamy, frothy head. Aroma of dark barley-malts and cocoa. Thick, chewy palate with an acidic quality to the body. Big chocolate flavors with smooth malts and not much of a bitterness at first. Oak and vanilla flavors obviously endorsed by the barrels. An earthy, vegetable and grain finish. Overall a big malt and coffee/mocha character, and as the beer warmed I could really detect the heat from the alcohol.

Pours an espresso black/brown with a tan head. Nose is standard for an big RIS, with a nice bold oak smell. Taste is smooth with oak, big chocolate body with a killer finish that tastes almost like tobacco.

A nose of vanilla, butter, oak, coffee and chocolate. The taste brings out the flavors of the aroma well. It’s round, complex, balanced, and contains a great deal of acidity and bitterness. The finish is roasted, but luckily not too much. A good brew, but I should have kept it in the cellar for a while longer before cracking it open.

One of the best stouts I’ve ever had. Poured very dark obsidian black with a dark brown head, smelled of thick chocolate, coffee, smoke and alcohol and tastes of rich chocolate, coffee, toffee, smoke with a nice hopped bitter after taste. Amazing!
