4.2 650 ml bottle, shared by Sander, many thanks. Pours a nearly black with a quickly disappearing light brown head. The aroma is full with coffee, mocha along with notes of hazelnuts and tobacco. Medium-full, creamy body with a low carbonation, a light to medium sweetness and a medium, lasting bitterness. The flavor is again full with loads of coffee and chocolate, some burnt notes, nuts. Finishes bitter roasty with coffee, some woody notes and maybe hints of herbal hops. Pretty roasty and coffee forward but balanced a t the same time, with a very reluctant sweetness. Excellent! Aroma: 8 Appearance: 4 Taste: 8 Palate: 5 Overall: 17

4.2 0,65l bottle shared by Sander at Powys, big thanks. Bottled Feb 10 2016. black colour, small dark coffee colored head. smells coffee, lactose, earthy, some wood, espresso, some chocolate, bit nutty, marzipan, light fruity hops. very nice smell. full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of coffee, espresso, leathery, grassy, lactose, some chocolate, some nuts. finishes medium bitter with notes of espresso, lactose and leathery notes. very nice one, rather on the bitter side, gets more smooth once it warms up. great stuff. 9 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17

3.5 From a bomber, bottled 3/15/17. Pours an opaque dark reddish-brown with little head. Thick, rich coffee stink on the palate, with a bitter finish. Delicious!

4.1 Score: 9 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 16 650 ml bottle, Feb 10 2016, shared by Sander, thanks! Black body, with a medium, dense, coffee-colored head. Aroma of coffee beans, espresso, dark chocolate, toast, tobacco, some smoke. Tastes similar, with more liquorice, some smoke, some dark fruits. Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes dry, roasty-bitter, wooden, with lots of coffee again, cocoa powder, tobacco, liquorice. Really tasty. Lots of lovely, distinctive coffee and overall more on the roasty-bitter side, while really well balanced. Enjoyed the regular version a bit more maybe, while this is a great example of a Coffee Stout.

3.9 Backlog, niezły Ris. Fajny aromat kawowy, czuć słodycz. W smaku mocno wytrawne, słodycz znikoma. Niezłe piwo

4.4 On a bottle from systembolaget, shared with my son. Black, thick, well balanced. The nose is moderate. Long, sweetish aftertaste with roasted malts.

4.0 22oz bottle poured at home with a bottling date of March 16, 2017. Deep roasty aroma and coffee flavor. Very nice carbonation and mouth feel for a 9.5% beer. Perfect for a 59 degree late September night

4.2 Bottle during HF tick fest; opaque dark brown pour with a bubbly dark tan head, aroma has strong coffee and chocolate, taste has light vanilla, sweet milk chocolate, decent coffee.

4.0 Pachnie ładnie, kawa, czekolada, pralinki i subtelne, zupełnie nie przeszkadzające alko. W smaku mocno wytrawne, ale to żadne zaskoczenie, po wcześniejszych przygodach z innym Yeti. Generalnie określiłbym to jako mocno palone espresso idące w kierunku dojrzałego orzecha włoskiego.

3.8 Really good Stout. Starts with a strong espresso flavor and ends fairly smooth. Overall a good Stout, but the finish had a little bitterness. Not much, but too much to be in the same class as other top tier stouts.

4.0 650ml bottle from Elizabeth Station. Bottled on 2017-03-17 (on St. Patrick day, yeeey!). Pours a very dark brown with the same head. Aroma is roasted malt and coffee. Taste is similar, very roasty with coffee notes. Good stuff, but too roasty.

2.8 On tap at P? Kornet, Stavanger. Pours black with big brown head. Aroma of medicine, medicine, medicine, whisky, wood, coffee, chocolate. Tastes sweet with very bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel.

4.1 Dégustée au Mondial de la Bière de Montréal 2010 (De mes notes papiers). .

3.6 22oz bottle. Black with a thick foamy brown head. Flavors are espresso, chocolate, brown sugar, ashes, caramel, resinous hops and alcohol with herbal, fruity and spicy notes. Light to medium body, soft carbonation, oily texture.

3.6 Bottle from K&L in Redwood City, CA. Aroma is woody, vegetal, coffee beans, cocoa, mild vanilla. Taste is bitter and woody, black espresso. Not picking up any sweetness here, which is a surprise. Extremely bitter and ashy, heavy on the espresso with very little vanilla or malt on the palate. Also, very hoppy. Easily my least favorite Yeti so far. Update: Originally served at cellar temp but had another glass colder (from the fridge) and I preferred this a bit colder (think cold brew / iced coffee).

3.9 Draft at Bru Craft. Opaque black pour with thick brown foam. As expected, feels like a regular Yeti but with the coffee turned up a notch. Also maybe feeling more liquorice than in the original. Wonderful stuff!

4.4 Black pour, big brown head. Phenomenal aroma and flavor. Straight up espresso, with dark chocolate notes in the flavor. Chewy. Absolutely ridiculous.

3.7 12floz bottle ($2.50, BOD: 12.22.2015) poured into an oversized snifter. This impy stout may have had its coffee addition fade with some time, Despite the lack of a pronounced coffee presence, it’s still a lovely near black color with one-finger of brown head. The nose exhibits the booze content covered in vanilla and mild coffee. The palate is robust, roasty, and has notes of carob. Good.

3.6 On tap at the barrel bar, near black with a lasting thick tan crema, amazingly thick and rich, with bitter coffee and bitter hops. Background notes of herbal hopsack, and an astringently burnt finish. It’s great, yet actually quite a challenge to drink.

4.1 Ciała sporo, choć jak na RISa, to półwytrawnie, gęste, aksamitne, mocno palone z wyraźnie zaznaczonym kakao, kawą i drewnem, w ustach pozostają długie posmaki kawy, poza tym na finiszu dość płasko.

4.0 bardzo ładne piwo, przyjemnie się na nie patrzy, pije się równie przyjemnie jak wersję podstawową, taki dostojny ris, nieagresywny, elegancki, dobra kawa w środku.

4.3 Alcohol balance -> top notch. In the aroma very vanilla and cocoa alike. Tastes like espresso with a slight CO2. Veeeeeeeery nice ;)

3.5 Beczka w Brewdog. Aromat mocno iglasty, przypomina na pierwsze wrażenie Black IPA. Duża słodowosc, skóra palonosc. Beczki wanilii nieuswiadczylem. Kremowa tekstura. Jak dla mnie mało nut risowych. Porażka wieczoru:/

4.1 [8764-20161001] 650mL bottle. Rich roasted coffee bean aroma. Black body with a medium-lasting foamy brown head. Toasted burnt coffee beans flavour. Full body is roasty boozy full. Very tasty. (8/4/8/4/17) 4.1 (w/ Big Red C, gorbalev, jercraigs) Overheard: "Do that thing the other night that was good and did the thing."

4.3 As every Yeti stout pours oily black with gorgeous brown creamy long lasting stable head. Aroma reveals intense notes of roasted grain, coffee beans, molasses, cacao nibs, cacao dark chocolate, vanilla...flavour follows aroma with intensity, but at the same time is even more complex: roasted grain, hufe roasted cofffee flavours, supported with dark chocolate, cacao, vanilla, toasted toffee, molasses, dark fruits esters, some woody notes...hop bitterness is - as by regular Yeti - very high, finish is dry, bitter (hops&roasted grain), body is full, texture almost creamy, carbonation is moderate.

4.3 Sample at Jack Browns. Very dark with full mocha head. Smells like coffee with a hint of sourdough and chocolate. Nice dry roasty flavor. Light and dry.
