Great Divide Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti

From Great Divide – Welcome to the newest incarnation of our revered imperial stout. We toned down the hops a bit to allow cocoa nibs to contribute some pleasing bitterness, while vanilla notes from the oak combine with the cocoa to create an aroma and flavor akin to a gourmet chocolate bar. A dash of cayenne keeps things lively, adding just a bit of heat to the finish. A Yeti for summer? Hell yes.

Aroma: Faint roast, fresh oak, faint dark chocolate.

Taste: Dark chocolate, fresh oak, vanilla, roasted barley and some spicy hops popping out in the finish.
