Name: S'mores Yeti
Brewery: Great Divide Brewery
Location: Denver, CO
Style: American Imperial Stout
ABV: 9.5%
Date: Unknown
I am drinking S'mores Yeti today using a Tulip glass. I served it at 48 degrees. The pour created an airy, foamy, three-fingered, tan head with average retention. The color is dark brown, nearly black, charting around SRM 38. The somewhat slow dissipation left no lacing on the glass. This style's overall appearance is average.
The initial aromas are chocolate, toasted malts, lightly roasted coffee, and char. I do not smell any marshmallows or graham crackers. The other scents I detect are light floral, caramel, and light molasses. The nose seems plain and lacking depth.
The beer could be better. The Brewers had a chance to make something great. The flavors are one-dimensional. I was doing a blind tasting; there was no way I would get this as a s'more beer. Are there marshmallows in here? I taste roasted coffee, chocolate, char, smoke, a hint of Maillard, caramel, and light molasses.
The mouthfeel is bitter and dry. The body is medium-plus, and the carbonation is also medium.
I am disappointed with this beer. It had so much going for it, yet it failed miserably.

12 o can from a mixed Yeti 12 pack. Poured into a Belgian snifter where it looked nearly black and had a semi-durable beige colored head. Boozy aroma with vanilla and coffee. The ABV is also out in the open in the feel but hidden in the flavor. Sweet with a mildly bitter aftertaste that has a lingering hint of marshmallows.

Picked up as part of a mixed 12-pack from the Fresh Market in Hendersonville 11-9-22 for $25. Canned 9-19-22; consumed for review 4-3-23.
Beer poured black with a very nice tan head.
Nose has touches of chocolate and graham crackers over a roasted malt base.
Taste follows the nose with a large roasted malt base that takes on a nice touch of the chocolate and graham crackers adjuncts very well. Finishes with the less than usual base Yeti hopping but leaves it a touch sweet as intended.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.
Overall a really nicely made dessert stout!

Hmmm, there is a marshmallow note in the aroma along with the chocolate, and you know what even some graham cracker as well. Also some coffee. That's a nice aroma.
Very black with brown highlights. The head stays around a good long time too.
Nice rich flavors. Chocolate and coffee noted first. The marshmallow is in the finish and the cracker is briefly between. Maybe a touch too sweet along with the richness. Seems the marshmallow carries a vanilla taste as well. Hints of alcohol flavor. Mild dry finish balances the richness some with a moderately to slightly heavy feel.
This was better than I expected. Captures the quality of a s'more nicely and is overall a nice drink too.

19.2oz can, canned 9/3/21. Pours inky black with a big creamy dark brown head that retains well and laces the glass some.
The aroma is sweet toasted and roasty chocolate malt with some sugary marshmallows and a little spice.
The flavor is sweet sugary lactose and roasted chocolate malt with some coffee notes in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a nice sweet dessert version of Yeti.

Stopped by Cheers Deli for the first time and forever for a sandwich. Picked up a 4-pack of Kern Nelson IPA, but then when I was waiting for the sandwich I saw this deal. After some thought I figured it was a great deal and I went with it. It was three variants of Yeti - Chocolate Cherry Yeti, Big Yeti and S’mores Yeti - plus a Great Divide Brussels glass for $29.99. All ones I wanted anyway (plus the peanut butter one) and for cheaper than most places. Put the Kern beers back and picked this up. Back of the can read “Imperial Stout brewed with Chocolate, Marshmallow and Spices.

Poured a pittch-black color with 4-to-5 fingers of brown-tannish rocky head, which dissipated quickly. A fairly calm setting underneath the head. Average watery lacing. Below average retention. (Sight - 3.50)
Initially reminded me of Stone’s Xocoveza. Smelled cinnamon, nutmeg, mulling spices, graham cracker, milk chocolate, vanilla, burnt coffee, roasted grain, burnt marshmallow, toasted brown sugar, caramel and molasses. Not as good from the can. (Smell - 4.25)
Tasted just as good as the nose. Still reminded me so much of Stone Xocoveza. Got cinnamon, nutmeg, mulling spices, baker’s chocolate, burnt coffee, graham cracker, ginger, vanilla, burnt marshmallow, cocoa, roasted barley, grain, sticky molasses, licorice, toasted brown sugar, caramel and semi-char wood. Did not taste 9.5 pct. ABV. (Taste - 4.25)
Full body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Long, spicy finish. (Feel - 4.75)
Damn. Not how much S’Mores this was, but still excellent. Reminded me so much of Stone’s Xocoveza, but not quite as good. I guess #XocovezaAdjace. (Overall - 4.25)

Brewed with chocolate and marshmallows and spices. It taste like when I burn my s'mores. But seriously it is pretty good. Next time I'll drink it I have s'mores with it.
Look: Black with a thick fluffy mocca colored head
Aroma: roasted malts, chocolate, cinnamon, marshmallow
Flavor: roasted and smoky malts, maybe graham crackers, dark bitter chocolate, cinnamon and a marshmallow vanilla sweetness in the background.

Poured from a 19.2 oz can. Pours deep black with a large tan head formation. Smells like a standard stout. Taste has some smores characteristics, but not overwhelming. Body is fluffy like a marshmallow, deceiving for a 9%+ beer. Some of the spices they claimed on the can didn't come through. Not sure how old the can was, may need to seek out a fresher can in the future.
