Had on-tap at The Porter 11/11

Dark black with just a bit of a tan head. A big chocolaty smell, along with vanilla. Smelled like cupcakes. Flavor was intense roasted malt, bittersweet chocolate and vanilla. Very sweet with enough hops to keep some balance. A little licorice and coffee character present, but the sweeter chocolate and vanilla flavors really muted much of the coffee-type flavors. The mouthfeel was perfect, with the oak pushing it from great to exceptional. Thick and syrupy like a milkshake with well-retained carbonation that releases just as it rolls through your mouth.
I have really enjoyed all of the Yeti's I have had out the bottle and this was even better. Big and baddass, this beer warrants leisurely sipping.

Serving type: on-tap

Had side by side with the Oak Aged Chocolate

A-Black in the glass, two finger brown head that tries to leave some lacing behind.

S-Oak, chocolate, lots of roasted malt, some of which was burnt (the good burnt)

T- Very oaky, lots of roasted malt, some burnt (still good), chocolate, vanilla, tad coffee and licorice.

M-Medium bodied, nicely carbonated and a tad creamy.

O-A solid beer. Cheaper than most BA beers, with better availability. Not as great, but still a yummy beer.
