Doing a side-by-side comparison of these two. The Yeti is much more intense. Extreme bitterness, dark fruit, sweet chocolate, coffee, hoppy. The Old Rasputin is much less intense. Coffee, chocolate, little to no hop flavor, but some hop aroma. It has a much cleaner taste to it (I assume because of the yeast and/or fermentation temp). Between the two I'm gonna have to pick the yeti as my favorite. When it comes to imperial stouts, the more intense the better. I still consider Oskar Blues Ten Fidy to be my favorite imperial stout still. I haven't found anything better yet.

I'm noticing that great divides beers all have the same aroma. I don't think it's hops, it's may be their house yeast character, but I'm not sure. It's kinda weird though...
 
You know what's usually not smart? Starting the night with a 15.31% ABV beer. You know what's also not smart? Following said beer with a 10.4% ABV beer. But I don't care.
Keeping the Avery train rolling with this awesome Imperial IPA.

I started off with a British bitter from Goose Island, then went to a Widmere Columbia Common(which I'm not sure if I like yet) and now I'm on to this Widmere Barrel Aged Brrrbon '11 I bought the last one about a month ago. I wish there would have been two of them. Dang this is good.

Ha! That's funny. I thought it was auto correct that changed it to howlers.
 
Just had a taster of Stone "Enjoy by 4-1-13". Amazing hop aroma and fresh bracing hop taste in this 9.X% Imperial IPA. Very impressive brew!

While I was at it also had a very nice Oud Bruin from Leifman's and a Saison de Lente from The Bruery.

Just got back from poker night. Had four Sixpoint Brownstones and four Sixpoint Autumnations. Very excellent brews.

I was wondering where you were. Welcome back.

Having a Boulevard wheat out of a 16oz aluminum bottle. I'm gonna keep the bottles for my home brew, if my caps fit them.
