Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti

At the Colorado Brewer's Guild Brunch at Freshcraft, I ordered a glass of Great Divide Espresso Oak Aged Yeti. The beer pours a black color with a frothy brown colored head. The aroma consists of espresso, coffee, chocolate, toasted malts, caramel, and oak. The taste is dry and bold with dark espresso bean and bacon flavors. Oak accents are strong with bold Belgian chocolate making up the backbone. The finish has a touch of vanilla and caramel. The alcohol content is 9.5% ABV. For a coffee infused beer, this one ranks near the top of them all. It had such a strong coffee presence build upon dark chocolate, and the oak really added the drying aspects to make it spectacular.

Appalachian Brewing Company Susquehanna Stout With Espresso

While at Appalachian Brewing Company for the Imperial Pilsner, I noticed that they had the Susquehanna Stout with Espresso added on tap. The beer has is black with a bubbly tan head. It smells heavily of coffee and light chocolate. The taste is bitter coffee with a good chocolate undertone and a pretty smooth milky finish. I thought this was similar to Espresso Stout. The alcohol content was not posted but I would assume it to be the same as the Susquehanna Stout at 4.6% ABV. I thought this beer was very good tasting and will make me happy in times that they do not have the Espresso Stout on draft.
