A lot of flavor. Huge roasty malt flavor along with a massive hop presence. In my opinion, it's over-hopped—significantly. While interesting and full of flavor, it remains overrated. This is the kind of brew that gives you a stomachache. CHEERS!

Had this on tap at the brewery. One of the more smooth drinking Imperials I have had. Finishes without overwhelming alcohol - would not believe it was >9% without knowing it first. Strong presence of chocolate and coffee.

Full bodied with velvety smooth feel. Super dark. Big malt followed by big hop presence. Just a fabulous blend! I've had a many big name beer and I'd say Yeti is better than any other stout I've had, even all the seasonal specials. A Powerful classic thick rich Russian Imperial Stout.

One of the best stouts I've ever had. I do not find it to be boozy at all.

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.
