Poured slightly chilled into a snifter. Bottle from April 2011.

Pours a rich dark black with a quarter inch brown head with aggressive pour. Minimal surface layer with light lacing.

Aromas of carmelized sugars, dark roast coffee, bittersweet chocolate and dried fruits.

Tastes as amazing as it smells. Flavor follows through the aromas along with smoky, mineral background.

Heavy mouthfeel with light carbonation and a sweet finish. Some alcohol burn as it warms up and pleasant lingering cocoa aftertaste.

Overall an excellent beer. I wish I had cellared a few more bottles.

From notes, 10/26/10. Pretty good stout, though something of a disappointment. I’m a big fan of chocolate imperial stouts and was very much looking forward to trying this one. Unfortunately, this beer is held back by a fairly rough boozy/acetone quality. The chocolate flavor is a little bit Hershey’s syrup-esque and not nearly strong enough against the other flavors. The nose seems to have some bland citrus pith/pine resin hoppiness, along with strong notes of vanilla and rum. Not much roast in this one. Mouthfeel is kinda up and down - good thickness but fairly harsh and hot. On the other hand, the appearance is superb - wall-to-wall black with a big brown head of creamy bubbles. One more quick disappointment - very little oak character. Can’t say that I totally get GDBC.

I now the label says "Oak Aged," but I was surprised at how the smokiness of said oak permeated the chocolate (of course, I was drinking this one after I had Rogue's Double Chocolate Stout). But I must say the "surprise" was a good one. This is a very creative beer, in my opinion. I like the juxtaposition of a dark, bitter chocolate with the smoky oak hit at the top of my mouth. The pour was a rich, smooth black, and the head was a gorgeous and enticing tan. The smell, sadly for me, was a tad "soapy." Does that make sense? Overall, this was one one of the better beers I have tasted over the past six months or so.

Glass: Over sized wine glass

Appearance: Dark black, opaque, even darker than the original Yeti Imperial stout. A mocha colored head that doesn't retain.

Smell: Vanilla Ice cream (only present when you swirl) strong alcohol aroma.

Taste: Chocolate, coffee, alcohol, cayenne pepper. The alcohol and cayenne pepper combine for an exquisite yet sharp spicy finish.

Mouthfeel: Full bodied with a thick creamy texture, nice subtle carbonation. Warming from the alcohol and peppers.

Amazingly delicious and complex stout. This beer is really fantastic and is a perfect example of why I like to try as many beers as I can, because every now and then you stumble onto something special like this.

Poured from a 22 oz. silver foiled bottle dated 03/28/12 into a Great Divide Brewing Company "Yeti" branded snifter

Pours pitch black capped by a medium brown two and half finger fluffy head. Exceptional retention and bunches of splotchy lacing. Big, robust roasted malt, dark chocolate, charred oak, and chewy dark fruit on the nose. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate, juicy black cherries, prunes, big toasty vanilla oak accents, and roasted chocolate malt. Finishes with more charred oak, cocoa powder, warming alcohol and just a touch of cayenne pepper spice that tickles the tongue. Huge full body, that is abundantly creamy and silky. Low to moderate carbonation. As far as imperial stouts that utilize cocoa nibs, this is one of the very best. Incredibly balanced between the roastiness and bitterness of the base beer, the sweet cocoa, the oak accents and the perfect amount of cayenne. This beer is a very complex masterpiece.

650ml brown bottle with a foiled cap. Bottled on date of 3/28/12 on the label, making this beer about 10 months old.

The beer poured a dark briwn color with a light brown head that took up half the glass. Despite the huge head it didn't leave much lacing.

Nice aroma of cocoa, vanilla, and oak.

Bittersweet dark chocolate flavor from the use of cocoa nibs with bitter being the operative word. The vanilla and oak found in the nose are also noticeable, as is the pinch of cayenne pepper which adds a spicy kick that is especially noticeable in the aftertaste. Alcohol is also present. I would have preferred a sweeter chocolate and less bitterness, but it is what it is.

Smooth and creamy, full bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation and lingering alcohol.

Too bitter for my liking, but most others seem to like it, so decide for yourself.

On tap at the Oak cafe - 2010 vintage. Pours a black super-nova color with a luscious and creamy looking deep-tan head comprises of bubbles so fine you can barely make them out. Good staying power and retention, though the lacing was minimal overall. The aroma creeps out before you even bring this one to your nose. A deep, chocolate aroma hits your nostrils first - a sinister hybrid of sweet milky chocolate and bitter dark chocolate. An oaky, wood chips sweetness follows it up and keeps things leveled out. This one simply smells rich and robust, like a triple chocolate lava cake meltdown served on a burnt oak platter.

Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti hits the palate smooth and silky, thick, but not to the point of being chewy or sludgy, although it surly can hold its own. The canvas is constructed of heavy oak flavors and even some bourbon notes. I don't know if the barrels this was aged in previously held bourbon or not, but I wouldn't be surprised to find that out. Succeeding sips reveal an even more deep and dense chocolate flavor than the aroma would lead on - like a bittersweet, rich Devil's food cake or a melted Godiva chocolate bar. As sweet as it sounds, it's never cloying, as the sugary explosion is held in check by the bitter side of the chocolate, as well as the robust and borderline-bitter nutty and dark chocolate aftertaste. Notes of char reside at certain places but don't take up too much of the bill. As the beer got warmer, a certain spice flickered up, almost herbal and ashy. Apparently it's chili powder? I wouldn't have guessed that - it almost could pass as an intensely dry hop profile. Not distracting, just slightly unexpected. Great carbonation, then again, it was from a tap.

Wow, I'm glad I finally got to try this one. On tap, nonetheless. And the 2010 version. Good night for me, I suppose. I think I prefer the Espresso counterpart to the Yeti series over this one, although it's been a while since I've had it. This one was no slouch, however. I have a feeling the entire Yeti series is worthwhile. Now I must seek out the rest.

This is a nine month old bottle of Yeti.

I poured the Yeti into a tulip glass. There is almost no foam on this beer, what scum exists is a deep tan. This beer is as dark as midnight with no moon.

This beer smells amazing. I really enjoy the heavy coffee and chocolate coming off of this one. You can just breathe this one in.

The first flavor I get on sipping this beer is dark chocolate. The coffee pervades in the flavor as well. The great balance and bombastic flavors make for a great sipper.

This is one of many Yeti's that are easy to get at your liquor store. I recommend all of them; including this one.

I let this beer age 6 months. First thing you should do is let this beer sit out and warm for at least 30 min. The warmer it gets, the better it is. It is black as old engine oil and has a nice smell. Taste is real creamy coffee, chocolate, and slight alcohol. No hop presence. This is a great dessert beer that will get you feeling good if you drink the whole bomber!

Appearance: Being added to a long list of the blackest most opaque beers I've seen. One finger brown soapy head that fades but laces well.

Aroma: Vanilla and cocoa bean. No hint of the alcohol.

Taste: Starts robust with a good balance of cocoa flavor as well as dark roasted malts that lend some sweetness to balance out the dark chocolate bitterness. A little of the oak character but luckily not as much vanilla as was in the aroma. No hops but that's to be expected and they aren't necessary here. The flavor is a tad one dimensional in the first half but is so good that it doesn't hinder the enjoyment. Aftertaste is slightly more complex. The dark malt flavors slowly fade giving a nice oak quality for a second before ending in dark chocolate and some coffee bitterness that lingers endlessly. Can't taste the 9.5% ABV, it's masterfully hidden.

Mouthfeel: More carbonation than I was expecting after a vigorous pour but definitely not overdone. Full bodied with surprisingly good drinkability.

Final Thoughts: Just keeps getting better as it warms. A great Imperial Stout. Would I drink it again? Yes, looking forward to the second half of the bomber as well.

Poured a bottle into a snifter.

A- pours a very dark chocolate color and you get an almost black beer after its in the glass. There was not much head with this one but I am using a large snifter so this is to be expected. There was some nice lacing left on the glass as I drank. This is a very nice looking beer but could had a little thicker head to be ideal.

S-The chocolate is the first thing that comes out as it should being a chocolate stout. I am getting some dark fruit sweetness next followed a slite burn on the end that I cant put my finger on. I am guessing its the wood from oak barrol or it could be alcohal. Overall it smells very complex and inviting. A snifter or wine glass is a must for this brew in order to take advantage of exceptional aroma. To be Ideal I would take away the slight alcohal burn at the end but thats being really picky of a pretty nice aroma.

T- The chocolate is first but not as strong as in the nose. I am also not getting the dark fruit that I was expecting from the nose. Instead there is woody bitterness coming next with a slight peppery burn on the end. The alcohal presence is there at the end but its not offensive as it is instead replaced by the woody oak barrol taste. The flavor profile works very well and translates to a very balance beer.

M- medim to heavy body coats the mouth very nicely. Very hardy brew.

O-In my opinion this is a world class beer. Its complex, robust, interesting, balanced and I really could not ask for much more in a chocolate stout. The chocolate with the oak just works. Its my birthday today so I was able to pair this beer with a piece of chocolate cake and I dont think I will ever be able to eat chocolate cake again with out a bottle of chocolate yeti. I would highly recomend this pairing if you are going to drink this beer. This was my first beer from Great Divide so I cant wait to try some of their other offerings. Dont pass this one up if its on the chelf. Its a must try.

One more note: If you prefer chocolate, drink this beer cold. If you prefer a woody flavor let it warm a bit befor you drink it. The chocolate fades and the aged oak flavor gets more intense as it warms.

Bottle from Distiller's Outlet, Poway, CA, bottled spring 2012 (aged 9 months)

a- dark, as expected. a touch thinner than the darkest imperial stouts. very little head, would have liked a bit more foam. less than a finger, nice dark taupe.

s- chocolate milk. lighter hop bill, so no hop presence. Malt is beneath the chocolate. alcohol is present, but not overbearing.

t- alcohol first, followed by chocolate. let it warm up to 55 for best taste. cayenne presence is felt after 3/4 of a glass.

m- not as creamy as other chocolate imperials. coats palate nicely.

o- my favorite version of Yeti, hands down. always worth having a few bottles around.

[Suggested Glassware: Snifter]

The pour was a deep dark black with an average (1-2 finger) medium brown creamy head that slowly diminished, down to a large puddle with a small collar and offered up some outstanding streaky lacing.

The aroma was robust to say the least of a roasted dark bread malt and a strong leathery yeast with notes of dark bitter chocolate, dark roasted coffee, vanilla, a touch of molasses and a mild woody scent.

The taste was quite roasty with a nice malty bitter sweet flavor that had a note of bitter chocolate and a bit of molasses from the start, with a big dose of roasted coffee and a slight alcohol presence towards the end. The flavor lasted an extremely long time following the swallow, with a bold mocha coffee taste and a slight alcohol warming sensation that left a bit of heat that hit the back of the throat.

Mouthfeel was full in body with a smooth, dry, oily texture and a soft carbonation.

Overall this was one fantastic brew, with a nice bold coffee/chocolate flavor with just a little heat left lingering on...

Pours black. A syrupy shade of rich warm black with a little burnt buttery brown head. Im getting excited.

The nose is deep and rich. Dark chocolate predominates, with a boozy complexity featuring what can only be the oak chips influence.

That smoothe rich dark chocolate gives way to an almost bakers chocolate powdery dryness while the booze is less noticeable and the oaking provides nuance. Initially i thought the carbonation dancing across my tongue was considerably higher than anticipated until i realized it wasnt carbonation in fact but that cayenne they added. I love it. Its like a molten chocolate/white pepper dessert in how well it is constructed. Ultimately one of my biggest complaints is just that its so heavy im slowing down before even getting halfway through im full.

Although that could also be because i basically just ate two dinners prepared by my roommates grandmother. Grandmas are the bestb

Bottle is dated March 27, 2012: pours motor oil opaque black color with a nice 1 finger creamy brown head that faded slowly, leaving great lacing coating the sides and rings as it went down. Looks like an iced coffee once it settles with a creamy layer around the top.

Smells of burnt wood, chocolate, roasted grains, charcoal, burnt malt, coffee, molasses, cocoa powder, light lemon, hay, light floral hops, herbs and some light alcohol like bourbon or red wine (obviously the oak barrels); very chocolate dominant, but the booze peeks through, as do the hops, which allows the chocolate to be the rightful star. It really was a great smelling beer, nice in inhale and savor.

Tastes like it smells, with burnt wood, dark chocolate, roasted grains, charcoal, burnt malt, coffee, molasses, cocoa powder, caramel, lemon, light floral hops, herbs, spices like a chili pepper and some light alcohol like bourbon; the oak aging is evident, and after each swallow there is some definite heat from the cayenne listed on the bottle. The flavor is sweet overall from the chocolate and malts with some hop and coffee bitterness mixed in, mild heat from the cayenne, and all kinds of complex malty notes as it trails off to a hot and sweet finish that somehow hides the ABV well and adds nice elements of balance for such a big stout.

Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth like chocolate milk with almost no carbonation, a thick chewy body that is viscous, and yet those contrasts allow for a sweet finish that has chocolate, hops, roasted grains and cayenne heat all mixed together which seem to neutralize each element and make for a fine aftertaste. Good stuff as the alcohol is kept in check, the pepper heat is an accent and the chocolate and malts get some balance from the hops. If they threw in the kitchen sink I think it may add to the flavor.

This is the second bottle from the March 27, 2012 batch that I’ve had within the last month and this bottle for the review was much hotter than the other bottle; that one had more chocolate presence and went down easier, but both bottles were incredibly tasty and enjoyable. Oddly enough, burping after drinking from this bottle produced a hoppy taste which just added a positive aspect to the overall experience of this brew. Well done Great Divide, I highly recommend trying this beer as it was a lot of fun to drink and full of flavor.

Picked up yesterday at Total wine & spirits, 22oz bottled dated 3/28/12 poured into a 10oz wine glass. (on vacation without my glassware)

A- Pours a deep rich black with a rich brown nutty colored head that quickly fades into a fine film.

S- Sweet roasted malts with a strong backing of oak influnce. Deep rich dark chocolate rounds out the nose with a touch of alcohol.

T- Dark roasted bitter malts followed with a pleasant influence of oak. Not as over bearing like some other BA releases. Followed by a dry bitter chocolate finish that hangs around.

M- Starts soft with a heavy smooth body. Medium/ light carbonation. The back half finishes with a mild dry chocolate bitterness.

Overall- Great barrel aged offering. Well balanced between the beer and the barrel. Chocolate was done right. I also bought the straight oak & espresso variations to try out.

Bottle is dated March 27, 2012. Poured into a Lost Abbey Teku. Pitch black pour with a beautiful frothy mocha-colored head. I get a considerable amount of chocolate on the nose along with some roast coffee.

Full body and nice creamy feel. Great flavors of bittersweet chocolate on the front of the tongue. It's not too sweet or bitter and isn't overdone at all. It perfectly complements the roast and malty tones. According to the label, there is also a dash of cayenne pepper and I love the contribution it makes to the flavor. It doesn't clash with the chocolate at all. It provides a small bit of heat that creeps in and pinches you right in the back of the throat as you swallow, leaving a pleasant lingering peppery heat.

I thought this beer was spectacular. Of all the Yeti variations I've tried, this one might be my favorite. It's smooth, tasty, complex, and dangerously drinkable. The peppery heat really gives it character too. I cannot recommend this beer highly enough.

22oz bottle poured into a 25oz snifter, is black with a foamy, brown head, good head retention, decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted barley, booze; not much complexity but a nice full nose of chocolate/cocoa. Tastes are rich, rich dark chocolate, coffee, roasted barley, cocoa, oak, vanilla, sweet but not overly, boozy but not overly, nice balance. Mouth-feel is full and creamy.

22 oz. bomber bottled 3/29/12 that has been kicking around the cellar, fridge, & elsewhere for a few months. It's a Yeti kind of night. Not sure how I've missed reviewing, or maybe even consuming this before. Split with my wife.

Black as darkness that might hold a monster. Nose is lovely rich chocolate, sunless malts, edge of roast. Simple, straightforward.

Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti should be in a TV show, or a blurry photo, or something. AK-burst of roast peppers the gums, backed by a flak of bitterness, even after six plus months of R&R. Chocolate is twined in, all taste, no sweet, no sugar added. Bit of spice tickles the back of the throast. Malt sweetness creeps in on all fours in the end, & builds sip by sip: but the bitter charge is the story here. Smooth, thick as hot fudge. Holy hell, half the glass is already gone.

Very good beer, a lovely stout that does a couple cartwheels in the mouth.

Long overdue review. Had this Yeti once on-tap long ago, finally getting around to revisiting/reviewing. Bottle was about 6 months old.

Black beer, tan head, good retenetion, some lace, etc. It's Yeti.

Lots of chocolate, roast, caramel in the nose.

Taste delivers big Hershey-type chocolate, has a fudgy brownie vibe. Nicely backed with caramel, roasted malts, some vanilla, some hops and oak. Not getting much of the cayenne pepper spice - it's Yeti, ya know?

Thick, smooth mouthfeel, a bit of booze but drinks pretty easy considering. Mouthfeel is always a Yeti highlight and this is no different.

Well it's Yeti and it's X-tra chocolatey. Since Yeti is already quite chocolatey in itself, this isn't really as outstanding as other variations (Espresso, Barrel Aged, regular Oak), but it's still a treat of a stout.

Bomber poured into a snifter

A- Pours pitch motor oil black. No light, no coloration. one finger of a brown head.

S- A little fruit in the nose. some dark fruits and some citrus as well. A moderate amount of chocolate. Theres a bit of the oak character as well. Still fairly hoppy.

T- Bitter up front, A lot of bitterness from the chocolate as well as the hops. The hop flavor has faded but is still somewhat present. Chocolate is this beers strongest flavor. There's a good bit of roasted malt as well as some caramel notes. Alcohol is well hidden. Oak flavor is subtle but only adds to the beer.

M- Smooth but a sipper never the less. Some alcohol warming. Bitter for a stout.

O- Great beer. Good take on the regular Yeti.

This beer poured dark with a thin head on top. I did drink this a little colder than I normally would, but I still enjoyed it a lot!

The chocolate comes through the boozy flavor very nicely. The beer has a very rich mouth feel which comes as no surprise.

I will absolutely be drinking this again in the winter.
