White Russian Yeti

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown hue with minimal light transmission, characteristic of the imperial stout style at SRM 40. The head rises dense and tan, settling to a persistent collar that clings to the glass in fine lacings. Carbonation appears moderate, with steady bubbles rising through the opaque body.

◌ Aroma

Vanilla and roasted coffee dominate the nose, supported by soft cocoa and caramel sweetness from the pale and roasted malts. The flaked oats contribute a subtle cereal undertone, while fermentation by the house yeast adds layers of dark fruit notes without sharp alcohol burn despite the 9.5% ABV.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced vanilla and sweet coffee, settling into a full-bodied mouthfeel enriched by the oats' smooth texture. Roasted grain and mild chocolate provide depth, while 75 IBU of bittering hops arrive gradually in the mid-palate, balancing the residual sweetness without overwhelming it. The finish carries lingering coffee and cocoa with a gentle warming from the alcohol.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with fading coffee and roasted grain notes. Warmth from the 9.5% ABV persists gently without harshness, leaving a dry cocoa undertone on the palate.
