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%.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of chocolate, oranges, and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of chocolate, caramel, and alcohol, giving it a slight alcohol bite. The finish is dry and bitter.

(Hand bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of CaptainCougar. Pours an opaque black with a creamy, brownish head. Fat aroma of hard roasted malts. Medium body, again these notes of hard roasted malts, quite burned really with a malt astringent bitterness. The mouthfeel is very soft, almost creamy. 070907

Canned, thanks ante! Very black with pale brown head. Aroma of chocolate and licorice. Sweet and thick heavily malty with syrup and molasses. Finishes with tarry bitterness. More big and powerful than complex.

Can. Hard roasted aroma with some raw liquorice notes. Black colour, slightly thick-flowing. Unstable head, very dark brown. The flavour is very powerful. Starts off creamy with a subtle aromatic hoppiness and a good sweetness. It goes down very smoothly and turns quite bitter, more from roasted malts than hops. Low carbonation and smooth, oily mouthfeel.

Canned (thanks ante!). Pretty much pitchblack colourwith small brown head. Aroma is really smoked and roasted malts along with chocolate, some vanilla, cocoa, coffee and burnt wood. Flavour is the same with some dark dry fruits, mild spices and quite hoppy. Bitter finish. Differs from the impy stout masses.
