Beer Review: Ten Fidy by Oskar Blues
Ten Fidy is a solid heavy Imperial Stout with a mind blowing 98 IBUs. Like all Oskar Blues products, it is canned which I truly feel is better for your beer. This beer recently won a Gold Medal at the 2010 World Beer Championships.
I have no clue where the name came from. However, I did Google 10-50 and found out it means “under the influence of drugs” in police radio jargon. I find that hilarious, because with all these hops and 10.5% ABV you feel the punch.
Tasting Notes:
Poured pitch black from a can into a snifter glass with a couple fingers of deep brown head. It was full of smoke and ester with fresh dark fruits. The aroma was not overpowering. A bitter beer but not sour with plenty of roast, smoke and chocolate along with additional fruit notes. A very smooth and creamy mouthfeel warms you up and yes, it even makes you feel safe. Be careful with this one-you do not even know the alcohol is there.
