An almost viscous, inky-black brew, Yeti opens with a massive, roasty, chocolate, coffee malt flavor that eventually gives way to rich toffee and burnt caramel notes. Packed with an enormous quantity of American hops, Yeti\u2019s hop profile reveals a slightly citrusy, piney, and wonderfully dry hoppy finish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Style:<\/strong> Imperial Stout<\/li>\n<li><strong>ABV:<\/strong> 9.5%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bitterness:<\/strong> 75 IBUs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Available in:<\/strong>22oz, Kegs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent11\/jay-wilson.jpg\" alt=\"Jay Wilson from Brewvana\" width=\"278\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I selected the Oak Aged Yeti:<\/strong><br \/>\nI selected Great Divide\u2019s Yeti because it\u2019s the only beer or woman that\u2019s brought a stab of jealousy out of my wife.<\/p>\n<p>True story. One Friday night after work a few years ago, I brought home a bottle Oak Aged Yeti. I cracked it open and poured it into a goblet, then pushed my nose forward and pulled a deep whiff. A smile spread across my face, I shivered, my eyes rolled back in my head and some weird, quivering sound of penetrating satisfaction jumped involuntarily from my throat. Maybe she\u2019d had a bad day, but the \u201cwow beer\u201d reflex didn\u2019t go over well, and I received a verbal thrashing along the lines of: \u201cWhy don\u2019t you react that way when you see me?\u201d And I probably followed with something silly like, \u201cWell, I see you every day, and, it\u2019s not that the thrill is gone, but, holy shit\u2014smell this freaking beer!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent11\/yeti01.jpg\" alt=\"Great Divide Yeti\" width=\"216\" height=\"325\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Anyway, as good beers for The Season of Cold go (or the 4th of July, for that matter), a good impy stout like Yeti is always a winner. There are several variations on Yeti these days, but the base beer that started it all is a winner for me\u2014even if it does cause problems from time to time.<br \/>\n<strong>About Brewvana:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>J.
