Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti
August 1, 2016Great Divide Brewing Co.
Chocolate Oak Aged YetiDenver, Colorado Style: Imperial Stout w/ Oak Chips, Cocoa Nibs and Spice ABV: 9.5%


This Yeti’s aromatics feel like landing in the center of a melted chocolate chip. And while it shows those cocoa nib additions proudly, the flavor’s that familiar Oaked Yeti: smooth milk chocolate and cocoa, oak approximating toasted marshmallows, and currents underneath of lean alcohol and darker berries. This is effortlessly smooth, along the lines of North Coast Brewing Co.’s Old Rasputin, with extra chocolaty depths and perhaps a hint of peppered heat.
