Poured from a 12oz can. Almost black liquid with a light brown head. Sticky foam fingers coat the glass walls from top to bottom as you drink. Smell and Taste of dark chocolate and coffee. Im a big fan of most Yetis and this one didn't disappoint. Not my most favorite but damn good.

I am putting this beer up with Narwhal as a go to imperial stout. Surprised I had not reviewed previously. A bargain as well, six pack for about $15.

Poured from a can into a tulip glass. Oily deep dark brown color with an exquisite light brown creamy, foamy head and excellent curtain lacing. Smell and taste of dark chocolate, sweet plums, and cinnamon. Some smokey malt and vanilla. Silky smooth feel. I understand why this beer is a craft classic!

Black and impenetrable to light. There’s a fingernail of brown around the rim and covering three quarters of the top. Heavy, soapy lacing. There’s plenty of dark, lightly roasted, lightly smoky, and a touch chocolatey malt. I’m tasting roasted barley and dark chocolate. The mouth is thick and sticky.

Opaque black color with some ruby highlights and a massive milk chocolate colored head with some nice lacing.
The aroma is dark roast malt, caramel, toffee, espresso and hints of dark chocolate.
The taste is dark sweet malt up front followed quickly by the bite of dark coffee, dark chocolate and a blast of herbal hops. This is almost taste overload, massive malt sweetness backed up with serious bitterness from both the roasted malt and major hops.
The body is full, good level of carbonation, still smooth and drinkable but best for sipping after dinner or anytime you can just relax and enjoy something really appropriate to the name.

The roastiest (?) stout I’ve ever tried. Sweetness up front gives way to awesome bitterness! Smells of nice bitter chocolate that definitely Carrie’s over to the taste. I will definitely be searching this out again!

Poured from a 12oz can. The color is pitch black. Moderate foamy tan head. Mild hop aroma with coffee hints. Flavor is quite hoppy. Reminds me of Victory’s “Storm King “. Nice dark chocolate flavor. Dry finish and thick mouthfeel. I’m glad I finally got around to trying this!

Pint can poured into an Avery snifter. Pours a deep brown with a fine tan head that lingers.
Aroma is dark roast malt, French roast coffee, cacao powder.
Taste follows; chocolate, dark coffee, and a killer late hop bite.
Full bodied, low to medium carbonation.
Overall, one of my personal favorite American Stouts. Well crafted, travels well.

Great flavor (not too bitter or too sweet) and mouth feel.

Strong almost expresso bean flavor, followed by dark / slightly bitter (bakers) chocolate. Mouth feel is pretty good, a little syrupy compared to North Coast Old Rasputin - but the flavor is very similar. A bit of alcohol on the aftertaste that quicky gets overpowered by the coffee / chocolate flavor. Very solid Imperial Stout, one of the best ones I've tried, and I've tried a ton of them.

 

 

 

12oz can poured into a Teku glass.
LOOK is nearly black with one finger of brown head. Retention is average leaving an island and collar.
SMELL is medium in strength. I smell caramel, semisweet chocolate, a little ash or pipe tobacco and a light spicy hop smell.
TASTE is medium-high in strength. I taste caramel, dark roasted coffee, a little semisweet chocolate, a little ash and a long spicy medium-high bitter hop finish.
FEEL is just below medium-high in thickness. It's a little creamy. Carbonation is low. Astringency is just below medium. It's quite dry.
OVERALL, it's a very good beer. The mouth feel is a bit disappointing.

Poured from a 12 oz can dated 6/07/2022 into a snifter glass.
L - Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head that dissipates slowly.
S - Smells of cocoa and coffee.
T - Taste matches the smell, lot’s of baker’s chocolate and coffee.
F - Full bodied and carbonation on the lighter side.
O - For an ABV of 9.5 %, the booze is hidden well. Very tasty stout.
