Very nice double stout - thick dark black color with some tan head and lingering lacing. Smells of dark chocolate, dark roast coffee and a little malt. Tastes similarly, along with caramel, molasses and some vanilla. Nice smooth, slightly creamy mouthfeel and alcohol is well hidden despite high ABV. Nice mild carbonation. I do wish the hoppy presence was a little bolder though. All in all, a great offering from a brewery I will have to try more of!

Great Divide and I haven't exactly been friends before. Not because we haven't tried, it just hasn't pulled through. But the Yeti has been watching me forever, and I finally caved to it. Poured into a tulip, this thing is pitch black with a thick tan head that looked beautiful, receding down to a foam cap with some great lacing. Nose is like a bag of roasted malts beating you down, chocolate and coffee grounds join in on kicking your ass. Taste is dark and roasted, coffee shines through and the chocolate notes are on the sweeter side, there's a huge grassy/earthy hop profile that makes itself almost too known. Fills your mouth, gives a little carbonation and leaves you with bitterness and a little bit of booze to burp up later. I'll keep drinking these and the variants and Great Divide will find a friend in me.

It’s an acquired taste, I drank two of these and got hammered. It’s good though, felled great too. Great for winter time, definitely good before bed

L. Dense black pour, inch tall dark tan head reduces slowly to a thick cap which stays and leaves a heavy lacing.
S. Cocoa, creamy coffee, dark roasted caramely chocolatey malt, more milk chocolatey as it comes closer to room temp.
T. Bitter cocoa, dark caramel, dark chocolate, distinct coffee flavor in there between the deeply roasted malts and the grassy/piney bitterness of the hops, caramel/chocolate finish balanced by the hoppy bitterness which increases in the aftertaste. Delicious.
F. Full mouthfeel, noticeable carbonation, only slightly warming, sticky/resinous in the end.
O. Full of flavor and balanced, I'm really enjoying it. I'd certainly have it again, especially considering it's price compared to other Russian Imperial Stouts of this quality. Cheers!

A thanks to the commander of the canquest, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 12 oz, can. Has a black color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of roasted malts, some chocolate. Taste is roasted malts, smoke, some hops, light alcohol and chocolate are present. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall is an enjoyable beer.
