Beer 283 - Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout (3.5 stars out of 5)

Brewed and bottled by Great Divide Brewing Co, Denver, CO.  Bought at the brewery in Denver and drunk at home in Katy, TX while putting all the electronics back in place after the furniture had been moved to allow the new floor to be installed.

the web site says: "Oak Aged Yeti is Yeti Imperial Stout’s sophisticated sibling. They may be from the same clan, but they have entirely different personalities. Oak aging gives a subtle vanilla character, rounding out Yeti’s intense roastiness and huge hoppy nature. Who says you can’t tame a Yeti?  9.5% ABV  Food pairings Grilled NY strip, fudge brownies, strong/salty blue cheese."

This beer was dark, almost black in the glass, with a strong chocolate taste, that wasn't overly intrusive.  This is best served as an after dinner beer with chocolate cake, fudge brownies or some nice aged cheese.
