Oskar Blues Ten FIDY
Love it!
Style: Russian Imperial Stout
Beer ABV: 10.5%
One year into my craft beer journey, I was at my local craft beer store, and saw cans of beer. Cans! I had always been of the opinion that good beer only came in bottles (no, I have no idea why I thought this). The beer guy at the store I were talking about what beer was new and what I should try next. Knowing I had a love of stouts, he recommended Ten FIDY to me. And I’ve been hooked ever since.
It is hands down one of the best beers I’ve ever tried, and it single-handedly sold be on canned beer. Thank you Oskar Blues! It pours jet black. And has an amazing scent of roasted malts, coffee, and molasses. And the flavor is right in line with the great scents. You can taste the alcohol, but considering it’s a 10.5% ABV - it’s amazingly easy to drink. And the best part - it’s readily available in NH, and last I knew it was still on tap at the Portsmouth Gaslight Co.
