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%.

Surprisingly good for a canned beer. A good stout even though not my favorite type of beer. You can’t taste the ten percent alcohol.

Black in colour with a thin and quickly dissipating brown coloured head, very light patchy lacing. The aroma is very sweet, dark chocolate, liquorice, some espresso and alcohol. The flavour is of chocolate cake, cream, a bit syrupy, light alcohol and a small roast. Sweet mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes burnt with some chocolate and alcohol, lingering.

This is pretty straight forward. Thought that this was lacking considering how I’ve liked the other Oskar Blues beers that I have had.

355ml can obtained in a trade with Beerlando, thanks Bryan.

Pours black with a beautiful brown head that diminishes completely. Aroma of alcohol, chocolate, and dark fruit. Thick, heavy mouth feel that saturates the palate. Flavor of chocolate, bitter coffee, and vanilla. Alcohol is slightly noticable in the taste, but overall, it’s well-hidden. Long, bitter finish of roasted malts, coffee, and hops.

Ordered from Liquor Max in Co. Thanks Nick. Tasted on 4/12/2008

I definitely wowed some friends pouring this amazing beer from a can. Pours motor oil black with a thick, mocha colored head. Smells of dark chocolate, coffee, and roasted malts. Taste is very similar with a majority coming from the chocolate and roasted malt taste and then a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is very thick and expected of an RIS. The alcohol is hidden very well in the smell and taste for a 10%ABV beer thus it is pretty drinkable but I can’t see having more than a couple in a session.
