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).

Thick black pour with tan head. Expected notes of coffee and chocolate, oak and vanilla on both the nose and the palate. Combination of hops and toasted oak made for a more bitter finish than expected, but in a good way. Delicious, but for occasional sipping.

22oz bottle-Pours pitchblack with a nice tight and full tan head. Aroma of bourbon, coffee, roasted malt, chocolate, oak and slight alcohol. Taste of this full bodied brew comes across with initially a little hops then coffee followed by bourbon and a little vanilla. The finish has all of everything mixed in rather well along with the oak. Great tasting Impy stout.

Dark dark brown with a good-sized brown head. Rich, sweet aroma of roasted malt, with dates, figs, and brandy. Woodsy and sweet flavor of malt, dark fruits, and a bit of chocolate. The oak comes through wonderfully. Really nice sweetly bitter lingering taste. Fantastic imperial stout.

22 oz bomber. Pours dark as an unlit cave and thick as mud. Had a beautiful brown head. The smell was oak, chocolate and some alcohol. Taste was oak, roasted malt and chocolate. Very complex taste and texture. Mouthfeel was thick and creamy with some chalkiness at the finish. This was a very good Impy stout. I loved this soooo much. Can’t wait to have another.

Bottle pours a thick black with a dark tan head. Smells like alcohol and roasted malt. Head retention is long with lacing from start to finish. Has a bold mouthfeel with tastes of strong coffee and strong roasted malts. Not much hop flavor and finishes with a nice vanilla flavor that makes me want more. This beer has very complex flavors and is very tasty.
