On Tap: Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout 

In this excellent incarnation of Yeti Imperial Stout from Great Divide Brewery; they've toned down the hops to allow coca nibs to give some pleasing bitterness, and vanilla attributes of the oak-aging gives a combined aroma of a gourmet chocolate bar. A dash of cheyenne keeps things lively, adding some additional complexity to taste but also a subtle warmth to the finish. Pours a pitch black color with a tan head. Aroma is super chocolate forward, with a hint of cayenne, some roasted malt, coffee, oak, vanilla and some dark fruit notes. 

ABV: 9.5% 

Current rating at rate beer: 100/100

Rodenbach Grand Cru - on Tap at the Independent Bar Tampa

Rodenbach Grand Cru - now on tap at the Independent Bar Rodenbach Grand Cru is a blend of new beer and old that has been aged in oak vats. A complex tart taste reminiscent of a Flemish Red Ale with complex wine notes is the result. 

This is a complex beer with lots of wood and fruity esters, wine-like with a balsamic vinegar acidic note. A sharp taste, fruity, refreshing with a balanced Madeira-like sweetness.
