Poured from 568mL can. Near black with minimal beige head. Lots of gingerbread spices, gimmick, okay.

19.3 oz can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of spicy ginger, gingerbread cookie, a touch of cinnamon, and some toasted malt. Flavour is surprisingly nice, with plenty of gingerbread spice, cinnamon, ginger, dark sugars, and toasted malt. Quite sugary, gingery and generally spicy. Solid for what it is.

Poured from 568mL can. Black with beige head. Roast malt with salted caramel, as described, enjoyable. Note: only tried a few sips (realized the can lists tree nuts as included - wtf? why is there nuts in a salted caramel beer?!).

Dark brown, chocolate, salt and caramel. Okay, it's as advertised. It is a dark, roasty stout with a lot of sugar, lots of caramel, and the salt is all over this too. I don't get that Yeti complexity, though. I mean the base

Pours black with very small light tan head. Aroma definitely contains salted caramel. Flavour is a lot of salted caramel and some malt. Nice mouthfeel. Very enjoyable beer; hard to evaluate adjuncts less the experience of the base beer. Lacks complexity.

19.2 oz. can, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of salted caramel and medium roast -- not much of the base Yeti is discernable. Flavour is rich, with tons of salted caramel; there's a rich malt base, but the salted caramel dominates. Has almost none of the lovely character that base Yeti does. It's fine.
