Denver Battle of the Imperial Stouts

Time for another battle. It's time that we had a battle within a style that is vastly superior to IPAs, the imperial stout!

Great Divide Oak-Aged Yeti Imperial Stout vs. Stone Russian Imperial Stout



vs.

Both of these are outstanding and I wish I could get both of these in Madison. The Yeti was a lot smoother and the Stone was more robust. The Stone was slightly more hoppy, but not in a bad way at all. I think that I like the Stone gargoyle mascot slightly better than the Yeti.

Oak-Aged Yeti 4.7/5
Stone Russian Imperial Stout 4.6/5

I have a Oak Aged for sure and I'm probably going to order a Stone IRS, since Chris says that they are MIA in Bloomington.

I did order a bomber of the Stone IRS. If there is more at the liquor store, buy it though.
