Denver Colorado’s Great Divide makes some really good beers. Its Yeti, in particular, comes in an array of remarkable variations. There’s the Barrel-Aged Yeti, the Chocolate Oak-Aged Yeti, the Espresso Oak-Aged Yeti, and you get the point… And then of course there’s the good old regular version of the Oak-Aged Yeti which I have here. This is a huge beer folks, so I hope you have your big boy pants on when you sit down to enjoy it. The aromas that come out of the glass are enough to fill the entire room. It’s a heavenly smell to be downright honest with you. There’s lots of vanilla from the oak barrels, a fair amount of rich chocolate, and an obvious punch of coffee-like quality from the roasted malts. Finally, because it only comes in a 22 ounce bottle, you are sure to get drunk enough to perhaps see a Yeti cross your own lawn. And who doesn’t need a good time now and then?

Finally had this tonight. What a treat. I have to say, this just jumped to the top our our favorites. Great stout, nice chocolate, roasted malts….without that “flavory” effect you get from some of the other brewerys when they are trying to give you a “mocha” or coffee/chocolate flavor.
Oh, …. and I think we just saw a Yeti crossing the back yard….

Did you tackle his hairy ass? I would’ve. Hahaha. Glad you liked it – it’s a beauty. For a hairy ass that is…
