Tonight's beer is Oak Aged Yeti from Great Divide Brewing Co.  Pours thick black with almost no head.
Aroma: smells of wine barrels. 
Taste: first taste is of firm bitterness. Just a hint of oak flavor.  Not tasting much other than smooth bitterness. Maybe a bit of coffee flavor. Lingering bitterness. Thick mouthfeel.

I have a bit of a stuffy nose, but I'm not tasting the roasty flavors I expect from a RIS.
