This is an amazing stout. Rich coffee and chocolate malts dominate this with a hint of some kind of fruit and a little smokiness as well.
It's pretty bitter, which i like, but i would love to age one and see if it mellows out and brings out more of the other flavors.
This is a wonderful desert beer, so eat light or wait a while after dinner because it will fill you up.
i recommend getting this.

Great Divide - Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
Imperial stouts are like Thanksgiving dinners. You know that when you are done you'll be full & tired. This one is no different.
Oak mixed with chocolates and coffees are the first thing that hits your nose. When you finally stop enjoying the smell and take a sip, you really get what you're expecting. A blast of chocolate & roasted malts quickly followed by the oak and coffee. Aftertaste is that of hops & coffee. A combo that no man should be without.
While I've had better ones than this, it's a really good beer and I'd recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone. It is a little light for my tastes for an Imp Stout, but tasty indeed.
