Commercial Description:
Oskar Blues has released a special draft-only seasonal beer for the winter months. Ten FIDY Imperial stout is a titanic wonder of a stout, immensely viscous, and loaded with neck-deep flavors of chocolate, malt, coffee, cocoa and oats. It’s the beer equivalent of decadently rich milkshake made with Whoppers malted-milk balls and Heaven’s best chocolate ice cream. Ten FIDY is about 10% ABV and is made with enormous amounts of two-row malts, chocolate malts, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY’s huge-but-comforting flavors hide a whopping 98 IBUs that are deftly tucked underneath the beer’s mountains of malty goodness.

Also affectionately known as Ten W FIDY (i.e., 10W-50).

Editor's Note: The brewery has had the ABV tested at a lab, which came out to 9.4%.

IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST BEER I HAVE EVER HAD FROM A CAN. POURS ALMOST JET BLACK WITH A SLIGHTLY CREAMY HEAD. YOU CAN TASTE THE CHOCOLATE, MALT, AND ROASTED BARLEY. ONE OF THE WORLDS BEST IMPERIAL STOUTS.

gotta love this strong aggressive pour of a stout from a can, ads to the experience, unique touch, but very thick, very full, and good stuff. Lacks in subtlties, but that is ok.

Draft at Michael’s Bistro in Charlottesville. Had been looking for this one for a while. Nice RIS but I’m finding it really hard for one of these to differentiate itself. Still, tasty brew that I will try again if I see it.

On tap. Jet black with a creamy chocolate head. Aroma is caramel, chocolate, sweet berry maltiness, slightly citric, and annoyingly phenolic. Flavor was roast barley caramel and chocolate, berries and cream, and finished coffee and phenols. Palate was very smooth but the phenols were just a little cloying. The alcohol content made this just a little too annoying to call excellent, but its definitely good.

Probably the best Imperial Stout ever made. Pours like 10,000 mile old motor oil. Great choc coffee flavor. Excellent palate feel and completely an amazing beer.

On tap at Collins Pub. Pours viscous black with no head. Smells like coffee and roasted malts- not too big. Drinks smooth and very thick. Oats, roasted malts, coffee, and some chocolate in a long, slightly bitter finish.

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.

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.
