Traditionally, Imperial Stouts, the biggest and boldest of all stouts, were brewed with massive amounts of roasted malts and hops, resulting in a velvety smooth but robust beer characterized by high alcohol content and extremely high hop bitterness. Meeting the challenge of this aggressive, challenging beer style, Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout is an onslaught of the senses. 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's hop profile reveals a slightly citrusy, piney, and wonderfully dry hoppy finish.

Best With: 
Our friends Kate and David at Denver's finest artesian cheese and exotic food shop, The Truffle, pair Yeti Imperial Stout with Roquefort, a French sheep's milk blue cheese. Also, grilled pork tenderloin, filet mignon with blue cheese sauce, cheesecake.

Coffee smell, malt taste with more carbonation than expected. Brown sugar and coffee notes. Powerful. A-.
