Nov 11, 2009 ( 12oz can) pours blackest black with excellent lasting dark tan head and great coating of the glass. Nose is brownies, milk chocolate. Taste is sweet milk chocolate, cocoa and mildly bittering roasted hops. Finishes very creamy and roasty. As it warms the roasted coffee element becomes more apparent. This is a damn fine beer.

Nov 11, 2009 Can, yes yes yes yes yes!!! I finally got this beer, it only took 4 years to find it. 2009 can, pours a solid death black beer with whopping fluffhead tan. Aroma is pure chocolate and sweetness, hint of the high alcohol. Flavor is a complex malty icecream chocolate bitterness coffee explosion with a bite of the hops in the dryness of the finish. The body is medium to very thick. IF you like impy stouts, this is one to try. I am so glad I found this beer, thanks for making more of it this year OB. Kick ass!!!!

Nov 11, 2009 Updated: Nov 18, 2009An inky black beer that glistens as it pours. This is my blackest stout, as it is deep black. The aroma was heavy on dark fruits, with a tarry scent from the high roastiness I assume. The taste was charred roastiness with some more tar & dark fruits & a silky mouthfeel. There is just something about an Imp. Stout in a can that fascinates me & makes me like this beer more. A black beer called Ten Fidy, Hmm I wonder what that means.

Nov 10, 2009 oh my lord this is so thick- tons of grapes, caramel, smoky black pumpernickel bread, roasted malts, so balanced and very simple and direct. Not too complex, but fantastic. Alcohol flavor is very thin. On tap at Abraxas Lounge, Miami Beach.

Nov 9, 2009 Updated: Nov 13, 2009Black as night, thick as oil pour. Really nice chocolate covered head but dissipates too soon. Great chocolate and coffee aroma. Love the aroma. Slight alcohol smell. Was surprised to taste the hops under the coffee, malt taste. Nice taste. Not something you can drink too much of at once. If you like think, mocha stouts then this is about as good as it gets. I am glad I tried it but I wouldn’t drink this on a regular basis. Would be good as a late night, after dinner beer.

Nov 8, 2009 Updated: Nov 9, 200912 oz can! Okay, Ten Fidy may not be the very best imperial stout, but why do I like it so much? Its black. No, I don’t mean black like the other imperial stouts, I mean opaque, with a very brown persistent head. The finish is dark roasted malt. Ten Fidy is to imperial stout what French Roast is to coffee. Good stuff.

Nov 7, 2009 Pours opaque black with a tan creamy head from the can at Redlight Redlight: It’s like seven layer chocolate cake meets vanilla meets alcohol (presence hidden not so much). Overall: Solid- Big, Black, and Thick. Intense mouthfeel. Rebuy: Yeah. #188 on 07112009, DG.

Nov 7, 2009 Can. Thanks to Dan for this one. Pours black with thick tan head. Aroma is coffee. Taste of more coffee, very fruity, with notes of nuts and vanilla. Finish very smooth.
