Yeti Imperial Stout

This beer was one of the ones we shared at our most successful U-Bring-Em Bombers event at Page 1. A really tasty stout. Very strong roasted malts, and very strong hops. So much flavor that you don't hardly notice you're getting hammered, too. A nice thick texture, too. Highly recommended.

Yeti Espresso Oak

Also a pretty good coffee beer. I split this one with a coworker while hammering out the basic training manual for our new writer. Perhaps a bit strong for the situation--we didn't get as much done as we ought've.

Smoked Baltic Porter

I was promised that this brew would be pretty light on the smoke. Not so. Definitely too smoky for my taste. Not recommended unless you really like smoke. A disappointing brew from Great Divide.

Hibernation

Hibernation has a pretty stiff alcohol content, but it'll make you want to do anything but go to sleep. Its vigorous flavor makes this an energizing beer. Any time, day or night, it's a warming beer and a motivating one. The best of the local winter seasonals, it's worth the little extra it costs if you're looking for a beer to make for a great winter's night.

Hades

Another Belgian style ale. I was very disappointed in this one because I was looking forward to Great Divide's take on this style, since I have mostly been very impressed with their work. But in this case they just didn't create a tasty product. Maybe it's me, maybe this isn't the style for me.

Denver Pale Ale

Bright & balanced, it promises, and it delivers. Nicely balanced malty middle and hoppy finish. Not overwhelming in either part, but good all around. Although I normally pour my beers into a glass, I drank this one from the bottle at our picnic, and therefore didn't get to see the color.

St. Bridget's Porter

A pretty good porter. Middle-of-the-road beer for Great Divide. One of St. Bridget's miracles, apparently, was turning her bathwater into beer. When Tracy heard the story, she said, I can believe she turned her bathwater into something, but I don't think it's beer.

Samurai

Great Divide. I had thought they could do no wrong--and I'm not just saying it because they're local. Claymore, Titan, and Hoss were great beers, but this Samurai was bland as all get-out.

Claymore Scotch Ale

Great Divide Brewing Company. A delightful brew--my first introduction to this style and this brewery: a perfect synergy. This beer has wonderful color and taste, and lead me to rhapsodic study of its delightful properties. This beer was when I truly became excited about the possible delights that lay in store for me during the rest of this year.
