I enjoyed this one during a trip a bit ago to Colorado. It was my first time in Denver and we instantly migrated to one of my favorite breweries - Great Divide Brewing. On take was this - the Espresso Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. This is a stout aged in oak chips with espresso added. A perfect addition to the Christmas in July series....It pours opaque with a big caramel colored head.
The aroma is deep malt with chocolate tones. Coffee and mild smokiness are also there.
It has a thick full body loaded with chocolate and coffee roastiness. Deep malt residue on the tongue and palate. It lingers with layers of chocolate, coffee, malt and has a slight bitterness in the finish.
The aftertaste is thick alcohol and malt roastiness that carries for awhile.
A big robust beer at 9.5%....
Cheers!
