Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti:
Howdy partners and welcome back to this little beer thing we have going on here and where it goes nobody really knows.  Till we do find a direction/purpose/reason for us being here let’s review another beer while we wait, shall we?  Great now today we shoot the gap to Great Divide, another Colorado brewery (they breed ‘em like rabbits up there remember?) and an entry in their Yeti Imperial Stout line: Oak Aged.  This line is impressive just in itself but when you look at additions they do to the beer: Oak Aged, Espresso Oak Aged, Barrel Aged, Chocolate Oak Aged, and Belgium Oak Aged this line up sounds more and more delicious every time I look at them and read up on them.  The beer came from a tap so it arrived in a nice Belgium glass with a pitch black coloration as well as a nice dirty white colored head that is thick and leaves decent lacing while it has nose roasted malts, chocolate and, of course, oak.  The beer has a nice creamy chocolate beginning notes that move to an oak coffee blend that is actually a lot better than it reads (trust me) and finishes with a roasted malt/coffee blend that sits well as an aftertaste.  An awesome beer and it makes me wish I had the space for more Great Divide brews this year but, alas I don’t, but you can bet your bottom that I will venture more into their line up in near future.  In the meantime if you see this beer, or any yeti or Yeti brew, take a photo- that’ll be worth money - and buy the bottle and enjoy with your new found hairy friend.
