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%.

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

Was lucky to find this on tap. 12 oz snifter arrived with a black liquid topped with mahogany colored head. First sip gave a rich chocolate, malt and caramel flavor. A bit of burn in back of throat. Very nice sipping ale.

My gosh. This is ridiculous. Black beer with some good foam. Strong aroma. The taste wil kick you crazy. Incredibly strong sweet plum and alcohol flavor with a dash of stout malt. Rich, smooth, and deadly. You know its kicking your ass but your cant see it through the fog of all the smoothness. Can you tell by how coherent that just was. Rich sweet finish.
