Beer Tasting: Great Divide Oak-Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
This oak-aged Yeti is an imperial stout from Great Divide Brewing Company of Denver, Colorado. This 25 ounce bottle was purchased from 3 Sons Dogs & Suds in Wexford, Pennsylvania. As you'll see from the review below, this was one of our favorite beers of this past winter season.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: Not even translucent, ring of tan, nice lace on glass
Bryan: dark, thick pour with tan head; quickly dissipates to a tan ring that sticks around
Smell
Adam: hints at a sweet hoppy molasses surprise :-)
Bryan: a beautiful (can I use that word?!) rich aroma
Taste
Adam: sweet malty roasted hoppy tang with hoppy finish that persists
Bryan: packs a complex taste; sweet up front, quickly to bitterness in the finish back of mouth
Mouthfeel
Adam: carbonated well, thick and juicy
Bryan: big beer throughout, thick but not cloying, just the right amount of carbonation
Drinkability
Adam: surprisingly so even as big as this is
Bryan: not fast, but extremely tasty and drinkable
Seconds?
Adam: until I can drink no more :-) (or if Bryan doesn't catch me drinking his)
Bryan: slow and steady wins the race; keep 'em comin'
