Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout
Crack 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?
A
respectable 75 International Bittering Units (IBUs).
Alcohol by volume: 9.5% |

- BeerAdvocate.com taster Crosling, of Fort Collins, Colorado,
describes the effects of oak aging on Oak Aged Yeti, “Add[s]
winey fruitiness with deep chocolate, toffee, coffee and cocoa
throughout and a small hint of honey and oak on the finish. Another
winner from what I personally consider to be Colorado's best brewery.” (08/09/04).
- CaptainCougar, a Ratebeer.com taster, describes Oak
Aged Yeti, “Pours a rich obsidian with a dense, full brownish
head. Has a sweet, roasty, enticing mocha oak aroma. Starts
with a thick, rich caramel-chocolate sweetness and viscous palate. Oak
flavor is evident, but not overpowering and very nicely balanced. Has
a pleasant coffee-like hoppy bitterness that leads to a semi-dry,
yet sticky finish that hides the alcohol magnificently. This
is a very flavorful and complex brew and the oak makes it even
better.” (10/09/04).
