Oskar Blue Ten Fidy Imperial Stout



Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout, the biggest and darkest offering from Oskar Blues,  poured an impenetrable black into the glass, with a huge, orange-tinged latte head.  The nose consisted of black licorice, herbs, mild coffee, and light campfire smoke.  


Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout opened with a creamy mouthfeel that was surprisingly bright and fruity.  The fruits quickly darkened and licorice came through, followed almost immediately by a coffee and burnt grains flavor alongside a sugary sweetness and lingering burnt sugar note.  All the flavors were bold and aggressive, but the stout never betrayed the 10.5% abv.


Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout is not for the weak of heart or palette, and is without a doubt the most nuanced and complex beer I've ever tried out of a can.  Then Fidy is one of the biggest, richest Imperial Stouts you will likely put to your mouth, and it behooves  everyone to give it a shot.

  1. I love Ten Fidy! If you ever get a chance to make it to the brewery when they're serving the Oaked Sour Cherry Fidy, I highly recommend it!
