bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Feb 19, 2009 Can. Black beer with a dark brown head. Light chocolate aroma with malt and light roast. Rich malt flavor with chooclate and light roast. Fuller bodied. Caramel, chocolate, and light roast lingers. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Feb 19, 2009 Black in color with a large brown head. Aroma is of molasses, roasted malts, coffee, and dark chocolate. Taste is of the same. Rich and thick motor-oil-dense body. altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Feb 19, 2009 Can in trade from BierKoning. Oil black body with rocky walnut head. Malty nose. Taste of chocolate, coffee, caramel and lots of other goodies. Amazing that this comes from a can!! A true delight. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Feb 18, 2009 Thanks kiefdog for the share. I can’t believe that a world class beer comes out of a can. Dad gum it Osker Blues! It pours motor oil black with a dark brown head. Nose is roasted malt, alcohol burn, coffee, some coffee, slight licorice flavor, and dark fruit. A ton of yellow lace lines the glass when you swirl. Flavor is velvety smooth- very light on carbonation- with lots of ripe dark fruit, sweet chocolate, roasted malt, and coffee bitterness. Starts sweet, and finishes with coffee bitterness. Slight bourbony alcohol flavor throughout. Thoroughly enjoyable beer! If it spilled I would lick it off of almost any floor. ditmier (1021), Boise, Idaho, USA Feb 17, 2009 2008 Can - Thanks CaptainCougar! - Pours a think black with a medium dark brown head...aroma is dark chocolate, roasted malt...flavour is similar, rich chocolate, coffee, I get a bit of copper on the back end...good ABV that is pretty hidden..fun stuff... JustinFromAL (114), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Feb 16, 2009 12oz. Can - Black as night, pours like used motor oil. Deep tan head with heavy lacing. Nose is heavy with roasted chocolate and coffee. Malty chocolaty earthy flavor that is absolutely amazing. I’m new to craft beers but this is the first beer to absolutely "wow" me, I’ve never tasted anything like it! yesyouam (587), Fairport, New York, USA Feb 16, 2009 Ten FIDY is a pitch black ale with a dense, caramel brown head that has excellent retention and really makes a mess of the glass. It has a resiny, roasty, chocolate-licorice aroma. It smells a touch sweet like molasses. It is heavy and smooth. The finish is clean and very dry. It tastes very roasted, like medium roast coffee, but it doesn’t get too astringent. Once again, there are notes of chocolate and licorice. It is well balanced and action packed. The aftertaste is like sweet resin. It’s a formidable beer. trevor211 (500), Seattle, Washington, USA Feb 15, 2009 Beautiful pour - black (even while pouring) with a burnt mocha head. Big roasty aroma, with toasted marshmallows, black coffee, and bitter chocolate. They’re absolutely right about the Whoppers. This is a big, thick brew! Flavors are more dry than sweet, with cacao, roasted coffee and burnt caramel covering a bit of molasses. Almost thick enough to chew. Very, very smooth and entirely enjoyable. MAN am I impressed with Oskar Blues!
