does not count  Jul 22, 2008 Delicious beer. Smells of roasted malt with a hint of chocolate. Nice dark cola like coloring with a rich dark tan head. Great flavor. Filled with a dark chocolate taste and delicious roasted malt. A touch of a bitter kickback. Warm going down. Nice brew!

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle - Nice dark pour with small tan head. Aroma of dark coco and a roasted quality. I think the pine notes and hop bitterness of this is what kept me from giving it a higher rate. Good malt blend but not as great with the dry hop body overall.

7/20/2008: Yeti Imperial Stout is nearly black in color with only a very thin tan veil on top. It presents a robust aroma of dark chocolate, heavily roasted malt, and suggestions of vanilla and espresso. Many layers of smooth roasted malts, heavily caramelized sugar, and rich dark chocolate topped of with a respectable level of bitterness. Even the bitterness is a complex blend of pine, unsweetened chocolate, acidic coffee-like notes, and citrus. These hop flavors continue to develop and become more apparent as the beer warms (expecially the citrusy and pine notes). This beer is pretty well-balanced and very, very drinkable considering it’s complexity and alcohol content! I would prefer a touch less hoppiness though... It is full-bodied and very smooth. Yeti has always been an impressive brew and is fairly easy to find and moderately priced. It is definitely worth considering when browsing for a good stout to enjoy regarless of how many times I have had it in the past.
12 fl. oz. bottle (9.5% Alc. By Vol. / 75 IBUs / Month and Date Bottled: Dec ’07) from Dutch’s Pony Key in East Hyde Park (Cincinnati, Ohio). Rating #1061 for this beer...

Jul 19, 2008 draft. one of the best stou’ts i’ve tasted. well balanced, looks great, tastes great - aftertaste keeps balanced, no weird notes to distract you from the goodies. The only letdown was a faint aroma i couldn´t really pick up.

Jul 15, 2008 Pours black with small light brown head, hues of burgundy. Excellent aroma of roasted malts bringing out a woody fruit aroma with hints of dark chocolate and some spice. Initially a smooth dark sweetness, followed by the warming of the palate and liquid. Flavor transitions to a tingling dry bitter/burnt chocolate that lingers long after the initial mouthful. Dark dirty and brilliant brew!
