Yeti Imperial Stout
Pours black with a thin brown head. A ring and thin film of head linger. Little lacing. Smell is bitter roasted coffee and chocolate. Reminiscent of brownie batter. Taste upfront is bitter chocolate, roasted malts, and a little molasses and toffee. Lots of bitter baking chocolate at the finish along with some dark dried fruit sweetness and bitter coffee. Lingering bitterness. Full bodied, light syrupyness, light to medium carbonation. Very chocolate heavy--so much so that it reminds me of Chocolate Yeti. A so-so beer with a few interesting characteristics. Probably not something I'll purchase again. 5/4/2011
