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%.

Deep black with very thin brown head. Rich malty aroma with roast and chocolate. Full bodied flavor of coffee, mocha, bitter chocolate and toffee. Slight alcohol warmth and long finish

I can’t believe this beer came in a can. pours like used motor oil with thick brown head. Roma Strong smokey sweetness and black licorice. Burnt sugar. Flavor just like the aroma sweetness with lots of booze that tingles the tongue finishes with smokiness. Its like a taste of old strong cold coffee - just lingers and lingers. Why cant we get this beer in Ohio

Can. Black with very dark head. This stout has got a little of everything. Vanilla, chocolate, vinous alcohol, some smoke and bitter chocolate in the aftertaste.

Thanks 17th floor! Pours a deep black with a small dark tan froth. Aroma is super rich chocolate, malted milk balls, dark cocoa, chocolate syrup, a whole lot of sweet sweet cocoa, oh and just a bit of coffee. Flavor starts with a rich deep chocolate malt, some soy biting in on the tongue. Remains sweet, malty and rich but never really builds upon it through the finish where it has a light hop push and fades with a bitter chocolate note. Medium to full body and a soft carbonation. Great aroma, okay flavor, could be a really good beer.

Can. Subtle aroma with some sweet and a hint of roast. Huge chocolate on this bad boy with some coffee undertones and a subtle hint of sour complexity. Goes down smooth and easy.

BAM! Big beer in yer face n down yer gullet! Served with a nice fine foamy, frothy tan head and good lace. Color is an opaque brownish black. Aroma is very malty, roasty, burned sugar, dark ripe fruits, and a bit of chocolate. Flavor’s the same but way more intense. There’s a sharp blast of bittersweetness upon first sip. Body is full, rich, and like very ripe fruit. Excellent carbonation too. Boozy at the end. Ok for a long slow sipping session. Careful though!
