186. Great Divide Brewing Yeti Imperial Stout

Just looking at this beer you know it is a strong stout. Pours a magnificent black, thin coffee colored head with great lacing and thick as an imperial stout should be. Not a lot of aroma but some coffee and alcohol. This beer is a thick sipping beer and seems to be best slightly warm. Taste has tons of roasted malts, coffee and chocolate but is balanced by some citrus hops that linger in the aftertaste. If you open a bottle plan on enjoying it the entire night as it will take a while to get through the 22 oz bomber.
