A Note on This Beer
WARNING: THIS BEER MAY SUMMON THE YETI.
Rumors about the existence of today’s beer began swirling back in July. The whispers said, "It’s coming, a brand new version of arguably the most famous Imperial Stout in the world."
Now on the cusp of the spookiest time of the year, dark beer fans are going rabid because it’s here! The debut of Great Divide’s 9.5% ABV Chai Yeti Imperial Stout.
This Himalayan inspired edition infuses cinnamon, green cardamom, black pepper, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla into the three time GABF-winning base. The brewery believes one sip of its complex, flavor doused body may finally beckon the mythical Yeti himself.
Great Divide selected this authentic combo of Chai spices to remind the Yeti of home, serving as a Himalayan-inspired homage to the origins of Yeti folklore. Seamlessly blended into the chocolate-roasty base, Chai Yeti sips like silky chocolate ganache with a hint of espresso. Highlights of cinnamon and peppery spice warm the palate as its boozy 9.5% ABV slips by, while a roasty bitterness lingers in the finish.
Chocolate Aged, Oak Aged, Espresso, Oatmeal … these are the famous, coveted Yeti versions to grace the craft beer landscape over the past fifteen years. With Chai Yeti, Great Divide adds one more to the list - possibly the most exotic one yet. So if you want to taste the latest incarnation of one of craft’s most renowned dark beers, this is your chance. And when the Yeti appears … don’t say we didn’t warn you.
