An exceptional imperial stout, one of the best, if not the best I've had so far. Big, bold and potent.

Pours a very very dark brown if not black. Thick. Didn't get much head out of this, but a little bit did retain throughout.

Initial aroma was quite powerful and certainly got my attention, lot of dark chocolate and coffee/espresso. Some molasses and caramel or toffee.

Taste was even bigger than aroma. More of the same flavors with some vanilla and a little spice. A little dark fruit too...

I love the mouthfeel of this beer. Very creamy but not overly syrupy or sweet. So smooth. The carbonation is just right, on the low side.

As far as drinkability, its a sipper and not a session beer. Alcohol is hidden better when cold, begins to bite more as it warms. Didn't get overbearing considering the style.

I'll say it again, this is one of my favorites. I don't have access to most of the top tier stouts on this site, so this may be the best I can get here in rural north Georgia which is perfectly fine with me! The regular Yeti is excellent as well, can't go wrong with either one.

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.
