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.

At Rocco’s, Seattle. Pours cloudy jet black with a diminishing, dark beige head. The aroma contains roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate, dough, caramel, hops and toffee. It tastes roasted at first, then light to medium caramel-like sweet and medium hoppy bitter. Medium long roasted finish, full, thick body, oily/syrupy texture, soft fizzy carbonation. Good complexity and sweeter than the Old Rasputin R.I.S. I had just before, but narrowly defeated by that one.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 2017-03-27/bbe 2018-03-31) im 2017-07 getrunken. Was für eine fette, feinporige Schaumbildung. Hier ein leicht grüne Paprikaaromen vor einer Wand von hochprozentiger Schokolade. Am Gaumen sorgen die Röstaromen ebenfalls für kräftige Schokoladennoten. Beim Abgang bleibt eine sehr stimmige Bitterkeit am Gaumen lange stehen. Ein wundervolles Imperial Stout.

Thanks to wombat23. Pours black from the bottle. The light brown head is creamy and clings to the glass in a sticky web of lacing. Aroma is rich milk chocolate, toffee. Taste is very bitter with dark chocolate undertones. A bit too bitter for the style in my opinion, and leaving no room for either sweeter or berry undertones. Finishes acrid. Body is heavy, fudge-like, with mild carbonation. Overall okay, but not among my top in this style.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours pitch black with coffee-color foam. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, hazelnut, coffee, biscuit. Body is dense and viscous, with relatively low carbonation. Taste is sweet in the beginning, but quite some bitterness -still well balanced by the level of alcohol - comes up afterwards. Finish is short, though some bitterness persists in your mouth.

Pours a near black from a tap, pretty heady chocolate and coffee notes in the nose, turns into more of a bittersweet milkshake, like one made with coffee instead of milk with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Big and sweet but with a bitter finish. Pretty good beer.
