Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
Pours an opaque bitch black with a perfect 1.5" dark khaki head. Huge globs of lace cling to the sides of the glass... absolutely perfect looking beer. Huge smells of vanilla, chocolate, nuts, and some hops in the back. Wonderful smell... I could inhale this scent all day long, but I am eager to drink it. Big oaky flavors make themselves apparent. Vanilla is also very evident, along with a toffee flavor.... surprisingly hoppy for an oak aged brew, although I suppose the 75 IBUs should have tipped me off. Big, thick mouthfeel. Very chewy and subtle on the tongue... exactly how an impy stout should feel. The only thing that hampers the drinkability is the 9.5% by content, and I suppose its thickness. But as for being able to simply tolerate the taste... I could drink this beauty all night long. I cannot say enough good things about this brewery... they constantly impress me. Well done.
