4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle from Systembolaget.
Pours thick and black with a tiny head that dissolves fast.
Smells like chocolate, a bit hoppy? (Got a bit of a cold atm so my senses are a bit off)
Taste of chocolate, coffee, cherries in liquour, roasted notes. Medium carbonated and full bodies.
Long, nice, bitter aftertase.

Light smell, beautiful oily pour, brown foam. Roasted, almost smoky taste, lots of coffee. A great stout!

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
bottle at home, from my MTH glass Pours dense black, with a medium tan head, lacing is spotty to good. Nose is tart molasses, smoke, licorice, black chocolate. Flavours of tart chocolate, a bit lactic, smoky, very chewy. Hmmm... This is the same tartness I’ve found in other versions of Yeti, but it is much less offensive in the standard Yeti than in say the Espresso version. Solid.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
The first beer on my 4th July American beer evening(2008). Poured into a ’Forbidden Fruit’ chalice.
Darker than a dark night on a moonless hill, a deep tan coloured head sat on top of the smouldering body. The head however soon left leaving a thin collar around the glass.
The aroma was of rich fruitcake, slightly burnt or overcooked, baked plums were also in the smell.
The taste was of dry burnt caramel, with the hops adding to the dryness. As the beer warmed, it appeared to lose some of its dryness, but it was still pretty dry to me.
Over hopped and to much alcohol for me. I am no expert on Imperial Stouts, but if this typical, then they obviously aren’t my cup of tea.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Very pungent with a crisp and sharp bitter taste up front followed by a tinge of sour aftertaste. Highly rated by many here, but just not my thing. The best thing about it, after you get a few down, the high alcohol content kicks in hard and the taste that I dislike, simply no longer matters.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a thick oily black with a small light brown head that doesn’t last long. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, roast, and burnt, caramel. The taste is much like the nose, malty, light-medium sweetness, and bitter coffee ground flavors on the finish. Very good imperial stout.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Good but not great, in my opinion, and certainly not deserving of the 100 rating, but I like my stouts to have a touch more sweetness than this provides. Heavy on the toasted Oak and a more heavily hopped character than I generally enjoy in an Imperial. Hoping the barrel aged versions I have prove more to my liking. Not trashing it, but not loving it.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Che meraviglia, io adoro questo birrificio. Tutti quello che ho assaggiato finora è super, come questa Imperial, davvero buona. Colore splendido con leggera schiuma, aroma tra malto caffè e luppolo. In bocca sublime con un retrogusto molto marcato e amaro...
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Big massive beautiful beer. Pours nearly black with very little head. Lots of lacing. Up front it is all burnt stuff, espresso and bitter chocolate. Middle has some hints of caramel, and finish is again coffee. Tastes are sweet, and big bitter in the end. medium carbonation with a light creamy mouthfeel. Great stuff!
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours deep black, opaque. Big brown thick head, stays a while. Smells of coffee, chocolate, sweet malts, wort, more coffee, tiny hint of liquorice. Taste is heavy roasted coffee, chocolate, I’m getting some wood-like notes. The alcohol is there, but not disturbing at all. Semi-thick mouthfeel with ok carbonation. Long nice bitterness. Packed with lots of intense flavors, but still amazingly balanced.
