Belgian Style Yeti
Belgian Style Yeti has an opaque, black body with a thin brown head. The head is very solid looking, and has good retention. A few scraps of lacing stay behind. Very sweet nose, with roasted malts, toffee, a little bit of fruit and some licorice. Belgian Yeti is a little sweeter and a little less hoppy than I remember the other Yetis being, but that could just be my inner-Yeti-sense being off kilter. The malt profile is big relative to anything, with roasted malt, a bit of burnt sugar, toffee and maybe even a bit of chocolate. There is a good bit of fruity flavors that mix with a light peppery taste and some licorice; as far as I can tell that is the influence of the Belgian part of the Belgian Style Yeti. There is still a slight bite and citrus flavor from hops, but not huge or powerful like I remember the normal Yeti being. The finish has just a bit of warmth, but this one is dangerously smooth. Big and full with adequate carbonation. Belgian Style Yeti is a winner, but it definitely leans on the Yeti part of its name more than the Belgian. Pretty tame for the ABV, so watch out.
