After being told about this brew for a couple of years, I have high expectations. I'm told it is one of the best beers. These tales were followed by the fact that it wasn't sold around here and someday I would get my hands on one. Luckily, Total Wine is the Beer God of NJ and had several of these 22 ouncers on its shelf. Let's see if the Yeti roars or whimpers.
It pours into a completely black liquid. Not a drop of light peeks through. The head is medium but creamy and a dark brown in color. It has a mild roasted coffee aroma with a hint of sweetness and malt.
It assaults the tongue immediately. It has a bold roasted flavor. In the middle is cream and bitter chocolate. The back is more chocolate and hops. The elixir coats the tongue with medium bitterness, roasted coffee, and chocolate. The exhale has a punch of alcohol. Oh, this is also 9.5% alcohol. Roughly double of a normal brew. Yet, I find there to be something a little off in the exhale. The finish could be smoother.
This Yeti really kicks your ass in many ways. High alcohol with really strong flavors. He's going to keep you warm all night. But you'll wake up sore.
