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%.

12oz can. Thanks to Nbutler11 for this brew. Pours black with thick and dense dark tan head. Aroma is strong with roasted malts and chocolate, caramel, oats and bit of coffee. Flavor is of roasted malt, oats, chocolate, caramel and finishes bitter with coffee. Nice thick mouthfeel. Finishes bitter but flavor is balanced. Nice big stout.

Can...Pours a deep black hue with a big, frothy tan-brown head. Aromas of...yes....whoppers, chocolate, a touch of cream, and cooked oats..Im getting excited. Mouth feel is full bodied with a semi dry finish. Flavors of toasted oatmeal, a nice hop bitterness, but a lingering alcohol finish. Might be a little too cold right now. As it warms, the whoppers really come through. Amazing. One of the most unique impy stouts Ive had in a while ....

12 oz can via trade with nbutler11. Thanks! Aroma is big on roasted malt, chocolate cake, nutty, and an overall robust Imperial Stout scent. Appearance is pitch black with a really thick tan head that seems to linger around forever. Taste is malt, chcolate, coffee, nutty, roasty, and a bit of caramel. Palate is nicely carbonated on the tongue, sweet on the lips, and the aftertaste has a nice lingering coffee and malt overtone. Overall, Pretty darn good stuff coming from a can. Cheers!

Can at Orsted Olbar, Copenhagen, on a harrisoni recommendation. Pure black with some tan head. Soft, sweet aroma. Flavours of vanilla, dark malt and chocolate. Highly drinkable and pretty amazing coming from a can!

Can... Pours like used motor oil with a dark creme head that stands sentenal atop this dark, mysterious beverage. Aroma is roasted chocolate covered cherry nuts. Flavor is slicing chocolate with chunks of maple syrup and a hint of peat smoke. Has a mouthfeel thicker than jello. I would rate the appearance higher if I could. Well balanced, upfront, and unapologetic.

The best thing to come out of a can since Guinness with a widget. Oil can black and thick, smoky and creamy, with chocolate and caramel. Best beer of the night, even if you count the Three Floyds tasting later that evening.

Black as midnight in color with not too much its darker tan colored head. Smell is dark chocolate, roasted and toasted malts, coffee, oats, and more. Taste is bitter, coffee, chocolate, malts, and goodness. Pretty good.
