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%.

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.

Poured from a can was a pitch black oil with a good mocha tan head. The color from the can is awesome.Smells of sweet cocoa, malt, and caramel. The mouthfeel is thick smooth and rich. Flavors are very good with solid bitter hops , coffee, and molasses. Great long finish. Killer brew!!

Received via a trade with Beerlando. Poured extremely thick and syrupy into a pint glass, very thin oatmeal colored head. Noticable chocolate and alcohol aroma, but not overpowering. First sip tasted slightly smoky with a coffee aftertaste. Slight taste of alcohol, but in a good way. Will definitely try to get this one again sometime..

Pours an inky, viscous black ooze into the glass with a dark brown head. Aroma is chocolaty with some coffee notes. This beer is extremely sweet. I dont get a good balance of coffee and roasted grain so much as I get intense chocolate sweetness. Really good beer but overhyped for me
