Next up is the basic Oak Aged Yeti, which is currently at #30 on the top 50 list at ratebeer.com.
This brew looks very similar to its espresso cousin, only small difference is the color of the head is much more towards the brown side instead of caramel. The smell also very similar except not nearly as sweet - it includes notes of licorice, chocolate and oak. The taste is very heavy on the chocolate with slight notes of oak and vanilla. Even though this brew is aged in oak barrels it does not have as much of an oak flavor as I was expecting but it does add a lot more complexity when comparing it to the normal Yeti.
Very smooth and hides the alcohol just as well as the espresso version - I recommend this brew over it to anyone who is not a fan of coffee or wants to try something not quite as sweet. Otherwise I'd go with the espresso if you had to pick one, but why not have both?
