COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONCrack open Yeti Imperial Stout’s sophisticated sibling -- Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout. Although these beers come from the same clan, they have entirely different personalities. Aging on a blend of French and toasted oak chips infuses a subtle oak and vanilla character into Yeti’s already intense chocolate, roasted coffee malt flavor and hugely assertive hop profile. Who says you can’t tame a Yeti? 75 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Pours a pitch black with a two finger khaki head which lingers and becomes very nice looking lacing. Aroma is of deeply roasted malts, coco, black coffee, licorice, dark fruits, burnt caramel, vanilla, molasses, some wood notes, and some light pine/citrus hops. Taste is similar to aroma but has more oak notes to it has a lot of citrus and pine hops on the back end. Has full body with super creamy, velvety, creamy, oily mouthfeel and a almost burnt, pretty bitter, semi dry finish. Overall, a excellent imp. stout that is definitely a step above regular Yeti.

Pours opaque black with a nice brown head. Aroma is roast coffee, sweet melting sugar, vanilla, prunes and a little hint of red wine. Taste is milk chocolate, cocoa powder, a hint of sweet molasses, some minute coffee notes, a veritable dose of vanilla and a slight bitterness which is cocoa like on the finish. Full bodied and softly caresses the mouth just like your favourite snuggle blanket caresses your Sunday hangover and makes you feel human again.

22 oz bottle shared with ebone1988. Bottled 09/18/2012. The pour is a viscous oily black with a medium brown head and some great lace. The aroma is great. Lots of roasted malts, chocolate, vanilla, and oak. Licorice comes through on the back end pretty strong and brings a good bitterness to the table. The flavor is very roasty. The malts are smashing you right in the face. The chocolate is much more reserved. The oak isn't there. The bitter licorice comes through on the back end for a little change of pace. The mouth feel is thinner than I want it to be. The carbonation is spot on, but it's just a touch thin. The aftertaste is roasty licorice and a little bitter. I love it
