4.28/5 rDev +0.2%
look: 5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25

Pours a slick black beauty, with a towering dark tan root beer float-like head that sticks around and looks terrific in my pint glass.
Smells like cocoa with an oaky rye scent, malt. Pleasant indeed.
Whoa the first sip hits hard! I didn't smell the alcohol but here it is now. But this quickly settles into a deep imperial stout taste with roasted notes and bitter cocoa, dark fruits, slight anise. I always prefer big stouts sweeter and not bitter, but this is not stopping me from liking this one. It really is smooth to sip, and for my taste couldnt really be better in that regard. Sticks to the pint as well.
Oaky, roasty, bitter. A big stout but very well done.

4.03/5 rDev -5.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Pours black with deep amber accent and thin, brown, relatively quickly dissipating head. Nice lacing.

Smell consists of dark cherries, roasted malt, anise, and coffee. For an espresso stout, the coffee is rather subdued.

Tastes of roasted malt, vanilla, and coffee. Again, coffee is definitely present, but not overbearing. Sweet, slightly alcoholic finish.

Mouthfeel suits style. Full bodied.

Overall, this is a really pleasant beer. As for Yeti variants, I put this in a close second place to the Choco Yeti, but still very good.

4.46/5 rDev +4.4%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25

Appearance: It has a nice jet black color to it. It has a nice dark tan head that dies down slowly and leaves lovely lacing.

Smell: The aromas definitely give out hints of coffee, espresso, chocolate, dark roasted malts, vanilla and oak.

Taste: Like the aromas, it has some sweet chocolate, coffee, espresso, rich dark roasted malts, some woody oak, vanilla and maybe even molasses.

Mouthfeel: It has a low carbonation with a very nice overall balance and feel.

Drinkability: It's a very smooth drinkable beer accompanied with great flavors and aromas.
