HOPIQ TAKE
Boxing Bear Stout Bear Imperial Stout if you want a heavier, more assertive stout that announces itself, Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout if you want a slightly lighter touch with better drinkability. Both clock in at identical IBUs (65), so bitterness isn't the differentiator—it's the alcohol warmth and body density. That extra 0.8% ABV on Boxing Bear's side isn't huge, but you'll feel it in the finish, where it adds a boozy heat that either appeals to you or doesn't. Great Divide's Yeti is the more sessionable of the two, if that word even applies to imperial stouts.
