Oct 18, 2009 Pours out of a CAN! like motor oil, thick and almost black in color. Strong roasted malt aroma. Flavor has notes of coffee and chocolate with hints of hops behind the malt. A thick slightly syrupy mouth feel with a long lasting slightly tart finish. Notes of alcohol lightly permeate.

Oct 13, 2009 Wow, pouring this from the can was actually scary, it poured blacker than black. There is a reason it’s called 10w50. No light is visible through this brew. Dark tan head disappaited quickly. Big roasty sweet nose. I smell coffee, cocoa, plums and raisins. This is a hefty brew. It’s like dark chocholate, roasty and dry with some sweetness. Alcohol is present but that’s too style. This is a well balanced and beefy brew. A perfect winter beer.

Oct 9, 2009 Can at Oliver Twist in April 09.
Beautiful pitch black motor oil, head was thick and lasted for a long time.
Chocolate, malt, fruits, coffee, licorice in aroma and taste. Fine bitterness and long aftertaste. There are Imperial Stouts that are more complex than this one, but it is still an excellent beer.

Oct 7, 2009 Thumbs up from me, this one is chocolate, malty, sweet, and the oats I think prolly contribute well to the smoothness of the beer. While I prefer GD yeti to this, Ten Fidy can hold its own for sure.

Oct 4, 2009 Thanks to Ucusty for this one. Pours black like used motor oil, with a lasting, creamy layer of dark brown foam. Very aromatic with chocolate, sweet dark fruit, and alcohol. Chocolate takes control. Very oily mouthfeel, and smooth on the palate. Chocolate and coffee again dominate the flavors with a powerful finish that goes from roasted to burnt to ashy. Not as complex as some, but very nice on the palate despite being such a big beer.

Oct 3, 2009 Updated: Oct 7, 2009~ Purchased this 12 oz can from New Beer Distributors in Manhattan, NY. Pours a syrupy motor oil black with a nice brown head. Aromas are of chocolate, coffee, and licorice. The taste is pretty much what you’d expect from a well-crafted RIS. I still can’t get over how this heavenly goodness just poured right out of a can! Who would have thought? This stout is big, bold, and powerfully flavorful. At 10% ABV, it went down smooth, but at this level, you’re confined to one, maybe two at best. A great nightcap. Highly recommended. ~
