Pint at the DEN bar. Pours black, with a small, foamy, tan head. The aroma is heavy roast coffee, maple, vanilla, coriander, and light soy. Sweet and heavily roasty, with a mellow, earthy bitterness. Heavy, sticky, and grainy. Nice and aggressive. Pretty solid.

(Bottle, vintage 2018) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with espresso, dark chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, oak wood, soy sauce and a touch of treacle. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate truffles, milky coffee, bourbon, oak wood, liquorice, black bread and a balanced roasty bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, tasty and well balanced, with a mild bourbon character. Great beer!

Bottle. A- Chocolate, whisky, faint vanilla, faint oak. A- Black color, black liquid, tan head. T- Chocolate, roasty, slightly boozy. P- Full body, thick texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- A very big beer that despite being 8 years old has held up remarkably well. Lots of flavors trying to come through but age has played a role. Still a great beer.

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark brown with a thin beige head. Roasty, woody aroma with a hint of bourbon barrel. An initial burst of sweetness and chocolate quickly turns back to the roasty, bitter malts, nutty and woody accents. Bourbon is very mild throughout, but does sneak up at the finish and as it warms.

A tall boy can obtained last November in Ft. Worth over Thanksgiving, saved until a 96 degree day in May, go figure. Think I’ll use my ABGB snifter for this esteemed (hopefully) tasting. The pour is a vintage black with an inspired and lasting mahogany brown head. The smell, in a word, delightful. A strong hit of chocolate and a promise from the whiskey barrels. But I purchased to drink and here we go. Wow, all I hoped for, dense semisweet chocolate, multigrain bread, oak, a touch of vanilla, just a bit of caramel sweetness, all with bourbon wrapping around the outside. For all the various iterations of Yetis, this is one of the best.
