97 Rating – Great Divide Brewing Co. – Espresso Oak Aged Yeti

Who came up with this beer's recipe?
Espresso Oak Aged Yeti's reciped was developed by Ryan Fox, Great Divide's Director of Brewery Operations.

What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)? 
I love the coffee, and I also like what the oak does to mellow out the rough edges of the beer.

Where does this beer’s name come from? 
We came up with the Yeti name a long time ago. I think the beer and the name are a perfect fit. The name really represents what the beer is all about: big, bold and elusive.

Is this your "desert island beer?"
If I was stuck on a desert island, I would want more than just this one beer because I like to mix things up a little.

Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Coffee notes with big roasty malt character and oak overtones.

Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
Ground coffee can be hard to manage in the brewery. One year, we packed a 2-inch stainless pipe with ground espresso – packed it so hard, in fact, that it took hours of work to get it unplugged.
