| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Draft at EBF. I preferred this over the regular ten fidy, the roasty coffee and some of the hop bitterness has been replaced by a bigger whiskey bite. Good stuff. jrob21 (1278), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Stranahan whiskey barrel draft at the Midway. I was way more blown away with the original but this one is still pretty tasty. The oak aging gives an added dimension but one big on the whiskey and alcohol. Nice creamy texture and bittersweet chocolate flavors remind me of the original. Roasted malt aroma and a little thinned out from the original. Pretty different, more complex, and about as good as the original.
