Yeti bottled on May 17th, 2010. Tons of silky smooth chocolate, roasted coffee, leather and tobacco in this. Also some dark cherry on the mid palate which I never tasted in a fresh bottle.

I should mention the peanut/almond notes in this beer as well. Very nice stuff.

I saw 2011 Vertical Epic at a local store today, Nate, can you tell me anything about it?
[Reply]

Buy it and wait until 12/12/12 to drink it. that is the general Idea of the Vertical series. You kinda need a year before to compare with. This December will be the first year that I have 2 bottles to compare- a 2011 and 2010

Hell, buy 2 and drink one halfway through.

Yes I can tell you I had a small pour from a friends bottle, and I hated it. Tasted like bubblegum, spice, and chile with some hops. Not my thing at all. Pretty sure they brew 11.11.11 with chiles and lots of spices..
