Yeti Imperial Stout
I grabbed a bomber of this brew while visiting the brewery during the BA crawl at GABF this year. I am drinking in a snifter at room temp. The beer pours pitch black with a huge tan head foaming up easily and fading slowly to a substantial surface layer. Aroma is very hoppy with pine and grassy scents dominant. I also detect some coffee and roasted malt backing underneath. THe drinking commences and reveals a thick body and smooth creamy texture. the carbonation is gentle and rolls over my palate. Flavor is roasty almost to the point of smokiness, some espresso notes and a bit of crispy piney hops come through as well. The finish is briefly chocolate sweet and then finishes coffee bitter. A very tasty beer and robust and complex as well. I enjoyed this oak aged on draft at the brewery as well, but that was so many beers in already. Definitely buy this one if you are in Denver.
