Review Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout

 An onslaught of the senses. It starts with big, roasty malt flavor that gives way to rich caramel and toffee notes. YETI gets its bold hop character from an enormous quantity of American hops. It weighs in at a hefty 75 IBUs.  9.5% ABV

Analysis:
     I continue to roll through the Great Divide line of beers. If you find a good brewery why not stick to it! This is the fourth one I have had this month and the first three were great. So my expectations were high coming into this Yeti. It poured a jet black the exact look of used motor oil. It looked great in the glass and tasted great as well. A super malty syrupy front side then the hops made their presence known and linger throughout the finish. At 75IBUs I expected the hops to be more pronounced but this was not the case. Great Divide is ballin'!
