Traditionally, Imperial Stouts, the biggest and boldest of all stouts, were brewed with massive amounts of roasted malts and hops, resulting in a velvety smooth but robust beer characterized by high alcohol content and extremely high hop bitterness. Meeting the challenge of this aggressive, challenging beer style, Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout is an onslaught of the senses. An almost viscous, inky-black brew, Yeti opens with a massive, roasty, chocolate, coffee malt flavor that eventually gives way to rich toffee and burnt caramel notes. Packed with an enormous quantity of American hops, Yeti's hop profile reveals a slightly citrusy, piney, and wonderfully dry hoppy finish.

Poured from 355mL can. Black with full tan head. Tons of roast malt, mild chocolate, all around solid beer (and I've finally gotten to try the original yeti base beer after trying 5 variants!). I enjoy original Yeti over the other 5 variants I've tried so far...

I reviewed this beer on RB a long time ago when it was last sold in Wisconsin. They keep losing my reviews. It's really getting old. Appearance is an opaque pitch black with a tan foamy frothy head that just sits there. The aromas are roast, black patent, dark malt, cocoa. Flavors are like nose, somewhat sweet up front but balanced with carbonation and bitterness. Good body and a lingering bitter finish.

La brasserie Great Divide nous propose un Imperial Stout qui va dans les extrêmes et qui de fait le rend très spécifique. Non pas que celui-ci présente un alcool tonitruant ou des intensités à la Pohjala, mais le sucre, peu présent ne donne pas cette rondeur présente dans beaucoup d'Imperial Stout, ce qui lui donne un côté brut et de l'astringence. Le visuel est sur un noir total avec une mousse brune s'estompant rapidement. Le nez est avant tout sur le café avec du cacao, un léger fumé et de la vanille. L'ensemble fonctionne bien. L'attaque présente un bon équilibre malt/houblon (44 d'IBU), sur un cocktail proche du nez. La deuxième bouche est franche voir un peu raide avec de l'astringence. Cela donne un effet rustique à l'imperial stout avec un sucre peu présent pour le genre. Cela fait également ressortir l'amertume. L'alcool, à 9,5% est pour sa part d'une bonne efficacité. L’arrière-bouche est davantage sur le café qui devient charbonneux sans un second temps. Le final est long et brut, avec un alcool conférant une bonne tension. Proposition intéressante de ce Yeti, (merci beaucoup Vincent !) sans toutefois complètement me convaincre.

Can ordered online from Beautiful Beers in Bury St Edmunds. Drunk at home. Dark brown, almost black opaque with a tiny tan/khaki head. Chocolate, marshmallow, roast coffee, pine and naked booze in the aroma. Sweet initial taste followed by uncompromising hop bitterness, with added notes of citrus peel and more pine in the finish. The bitterness lasts on the tongue long after the sip. Thick, pily body with medium carbonation. A really special imperial stout.
