Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout:
Hello friends and neighbors and welcome back to your one stop shop for beer reviews (hey, it can eventually be that, give it time).  Today we look at a beer that is kind of out of place in the order it’s been drunk since it serves as the base beer for Great Divide’s Yeti line and that beer is the Yeti (yeah no big surprise, I know).  Having reviewed one of the off-shoots of this beer earlier in the year (with great results) I figured it was high time to give this beer its time in the sun.  The imperial stout was poured from a tap with a dark brown, nearly black coloration with decent head of large light brown bubbles decent lacing and a nose of cocoa with a touch of hops underneath it.  The beer is thick and its taste profile starts off with a mild chocolate flavor that brings out some other dark flavors such as roasted malts and molasses.  The mid tongue and back end are bitter ala a medium roast coffee with a booze back that is noticeable (it is 9.5% ABV after all) but not overpowering which can be deceptive while tossing one of these beers back.  A great beer, not quite at the level of Old Rasputin but it’s close enough.  If you find yourself a Yeti, photograph it and then go grab the beer that is named after it and enjoy the beer and your new found fame.
