Crack open Yeti Imperial Stouts 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?

From Sep 2007

Purchased at Wilbur's Liquors in Ft Collins for US$5.99 for the bomber.

It pours a near pitch black, no, it's more of a very very dark brown with a nice creamy tannish head of foam that sticks around for the duration and it has some lacing.

The smell is very woody and malty and fruity. Nice nose.

The taste has big notes of caramel malt and chocolate up front. After a few more sips, I get the Oak in the flavour along with sour cherrries and some very bitter hop, the latter of which, dominates near and through the finish. The body is medium to heavy and the carbo is lightly done. Oh, and the alcohol starts to become more noticeable, especially after the swallow....quite warming.

Well, I've tried this one and the non oaked version and I like the non oaked more. Still, this is a fine sipping IS and I'd buy it on the odd occasion without feeling any regret.

Botella 66 cl de bierhalle Cortrique tomada en el Kraken 13..10.. 2017. Color negro intenso con bastante espuma beige oscuro persistente. Sabores intensos y suaves cacaos vainillas maderas, ligeros carbonizados y suaves achicorias. Mejora y suaviza bastante al calentar. Tomada después de la oak chocolate y no tiene toques tan secos y amargos finales ni tantos cacaos o vainillas. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio, fino suave fácil de beber que te deja la boca al final bien engrasada. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda alguna.

So Yeti Imperial Stout is already a personal favorite, is Oak Aged going to improve on that? That is why we try them out is it not? This bomber came from the Dallas area, appreciating the opportunity of course. Poured into my New Belgium tulip glass it passes the first test. It shows a jet black body and a dark tawny brown head which shows signs of good lacing. Lifting to my nose I find dark chocolate, cherry and a promise of spiciness. A drink, like wow, sensory overload. Coffee, bittersweet chocolate, burnt pecans, toffee sweetness, a richness from the oak I assume. A moderate bitterness from start to well after finish. Very full, very complete. Now when am I going back to Big D?

Black with dark brown head - Dark malt with fruity tones and some hints of barrel in the aroma - Dark malt body with some fruity tones and some wood, vanilla and cooffee flavours, with some hints of alcohol with a bitter end - The dark fruity malt and hop with a lasting bitterness with some coffee and woody notes goes into the finish - This was real good

Bottle 650ml. Black with small brown head. Chocolate and small hint of sweet vanilla in aroma. There is also bitter chocolate in taste with a little bit wooden finish and small note of alocohol. Beer is smooth even though medium bitterness, wooden and small sweetness in aftertaste.
