Great Divide Espresso Oak-aged Yeti Russian Imperial Stout. Denver, Colorado. 10.5 % ABV.Solidly stygian hue, complete and utter blackness, roasted brown head. Looks fantastic.
Aroma: espresso is here, but not hugely so, Chocolate reigns over all, as well as a little anise, mollasses in large doses. Dark malt writ gigantic.
Taste: more of the same at play in the mouth. Rich, utterly decadent and delicious dark malt runs rampant over the senses. I don't really feel the oak-aging, perhaps that's a sweetness inhibitor, as well as the high hopping. Massive mouthfeel, enormous, cavernous, leviathan, promethean, and so on. Full-bodied, long, rich finish, mmmm, diddly-mmm, mmm, mmm.Just wish I could taste the espresso more. It didn't stand out enough for me. Other than that quibble, a decadent treat.
