@HopZine I love the American styles now they are great, it is well cool Oskar Blues pack their beers in a can, I think they were the first craft beer company to do so. I did chug it a bit quick, I reviewed the Itheca Flower Power after and it was a bit messy LOL Thanks for watching pal, Cheers
@BeerichiTuba Yeah 10.5% is crazy for the UK and it was my first Imperial Stout, I think if I was to drink Imperial Stouts more often I would love them, its like anything in life though you just have to get used to it, the only drink that I loved straight away was the IPA's you have over there, I took to them straight away, this was a top drink though, I can see why people rate it so highly, thanks for watching Winton, Cheers
Great review Simon! Nice to see you try your first Imperial Stout, but a pretty big one for your first. You can also get Imperial Stouts in the UK e.g. Samuel Smith makes one which isn't as big as this one. But 10,5% is a hughe beer. I have one Imperial Stout cellaring on 18%!!!! This one sounds pretty good, I would love to try it sometime. Cheers pal!
Probably been addressed but it's 10.5%, hence the name, Ten Fidy. Ten Fifty. 10.50. Man, loving the videos. Just getting into watching them and I'll be watching more! Thank you!
WOW!!! I was wondering how you got this beer. That is quite amazing you got this beer. So great Chad sent you this beer. 10.5% is a crazy beer to drink over in the UK, innit? YES, it is very chocolatey. It's one of the more chocolatey imperial stouts out there. I didn't know it's 98IBUs. It doesn't taste like it. Man, is this your first imperial stout?
One of my most favourite stouts. Has you licking your gums for hours to get as much of that taste as you can! I definitely need to revisit this one. You look young here Simon! lol. Need to get some stout in for The Stoned Crow :)
@BeerichiTuba I think 8/10 is a fair rating. It is quite strong. But it shows that you have great taste so you can tell yourself that it is a really good beer, huh? I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
A fantastic Imperial stout, I wish I could get more beers for Oskar Blues. I think its great that such a good beer is packaged in can, cans aren't just for crap lager. Careful how quick you chug that big old beer, you'll be on your back. It appears you are very much a convert to US style beers. Ten Fidy beats the pants of drain cleaner like Old Tom. Try and find Marble's Decadence Imperial stout for a fantastic UK example of the style.
@MrTerryKay Hello Terry, this was sent to me from another beer reviewer in America, im really not sure you can buy one, in all honesty though, one of my more recent reviews of another Imperial was better tasting and smoother, it was Dark Stars Imperial Stout, cheers :)
at first i didn't like it such a mouth full of bitter - but it does / has grown to the point that i love it, and i miss it when I haven't had it for awhile... had Deschutes the abyss, loved it - but drank a Ten Fidy shortly after and can see why i love ten fidy so much - it is a mouthful, and if you like salty dark roasted barley can't think of a better beer to spend a couple hours working on then ten fidy...
@TheMasterOfHoppets I personally think you should age it at least a year. I aged one that was from a bad batch for about 8 months. It was still abrasive, but I think it was already from a not-so-good batch, and I don't remember if it was refrigerated already. I'd give it at least a year in the cellar though, in my opinion.
Haha, not many people can drink many Ten Fidy's. They only come in four packs over here. The ABV is 9.5% now. Originally it was 10.5% I think. 10-50 is motor oil term though, fitting for the color and viscosity of that beer.
@iconoclast137 Wow thats amazing I get to speak to someone from Oscar Blues, this beer was sent to me by a fan who watches in America. I really want to review the rest of your range on my show here. Any ideas if this is achievable?? Cheers
hey i actually do work at oskar blues and i don't know anyone named pat burns. ten fidy is 10.5 abv, hence the name Ten Fidy. Fidy stands for "Fuck Industry Do it Yourself." I love your review of this beer. I have shared your review with pretty much everyone in the company. Love it. If you're ever in Colorado, pay us a visit! Cheers
@realaleguide That's great, man. If you want to try another one that you should be able to get there is Samuel Smith's imperial stout. That one's quite good and it's not as strong either.
@ChadzBeerReviews Next up Itheca Flower Power IPA, your a real diamond sending me these beers Chad, they are so new and fresh from the style of beer im used to, im really enjoying the lesson's in different styles of beers, cant wait to do the interview and beer review next wednesday. I was kicking myself watching this again I realised my mistake in saying 98% IBU's, nevermind. keep well my friend and Cheers
@TheMasterOfHoppets It was mind blowing Peter, really good, WOW thats amazing you have one at 18%, that would blow my socks off, I will look for the Sam Smiths Imperial Stout, sounds very interesting. Keep up the good reviews my friend ,Cheers
@StumpyJoeJr Whow it was vicious Ryan, I fell asleep in the chair after I did Ten Fidy and Flower Power, my wife said I was in a deep sleep, mumbling to myself,LOL
i aint gonna lie, i aint seen either of them but shit man i can try to see if were selling it in a can. if not i can get you the basics, like gubna, ten fidy, old chub, devient dales, ect!
@realaleguide WAH WAH!! I WANT ONE!! (Throws toys out of pram) WAAAHH!!! I have never been so impressed with how a drink poured from the bottle. I CAN'T FIND IT IN THE UK!!! WAHH WAAAH!!!!! Sniff, cough.
For some reason UA-cam did not notify me of this comment, my sincerest apologize!! Can you email me at realaleguide at google mail dot com I would like to get the rest of your beers on my UK show? Cheers
You seem to be getting younger... I'm drinking Ten Fidy now, vintage 2019.. It is still phenomenal....
Just bought a 4 pack. Gonna have it tomorrow. Have high hopes. So far my favorite stout is still New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk.
Cheers for watching, this beer was fabulous.
@HopZine I love the American styles now they are great, it is well cool Oskar Blues pack their beers in a can, I think they were the first craft beer company to do so.

The chocolate malt doesn't make it bitter - that'd be the hops included. Chocolate malts tend to subdue hop flavor.
I like this one very much. It's better after a year or two. Thank for the review!
Picking up a can of this next week from my local bottle shop. It's their bourbon barrel aged version 12.9%. can't wait.
@BeerichiTuba I think 8/10 is a fair rating. It is quite strong. But it shows that you have great taste so you can tell yourself that it is a really good beer, huh? I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
@mavxr I have only tried the Punk IPA from Brew Dog, I would love to try their head mashing stuff, Cheers
@BeerichiTuba World Wide Stout. Its from 2008 but im think about aging it about 6 months to a year more.
A fantastic Imperial stout, I wish I could get more beers for Oskar Blues. I think its great that such a good beer is packaged in can, cans aren't just for crap lager.

@TheMasterOfHoppets Is the 18% you're cellaring the Tokyo or World Wide Stout?
GREAT REVIEW MATE!
How and where can I buy it?

i've tasted this one and its just sooo heavy...though i didnt see it can form...be interesting to see someone shotgun that ;D
Loving this beer at the moment very good effort from oskar blues best imperial stout ive had in a while. Mine says 10.5% on tin.
@TheMasterOfHoppets It was mind blowing Peter, really good, WOW thats amazing you have one at 18%, that would blow my socks off, I will look for the Sam Smiths Imperial Stout, sounds very interesting. Keep up the good reviews my friend ,Cheers

@pinegrove33 Oh yeah that would be great, I would love to come to America one day, you guys make awsome beer, Cheers
@soocool78 Cant get it here in the UK for love nor money, bit gutted as I have been after a bottle for a while, cheers
hey i work at oskar blues!!!
Maybe they change it from year to year, which may change the ABV. Just a thought.
@MrTerryKay I feel like this Terry, I just finished watching the budget!! LOL
@realaleguide you should review dogfish head's 120 minute IPA, 15% ABV its a monster
i aint gonna lie, i aint seen either of them but shit man i can try to see if were selling it in a can. if not i can get you the basics, like gubna, ten fidy, old chub, devient dales, ect!
Don't forget mate, the Brits still have the tactical nuclear penguin, that can average out our overall abv for uk craft beer :D
@realaleguide
WAH WAH!! I WANT ONE!! (Throws toys out of pram) WAAAHH!!!
I have never been so impressed with how a drink poured from the bottle.
I CAN'T FIND IT IN THE UK!!!
WAHH WAAAH!!!!! Sniff, cough.
Great stuff but I would have called it Fidy weight :)
This beer does not suck....alot;)
For some reason UA-cam did not notify me of this comment, my sincerest apologize!! Can you email me at realaleguide at google mail dot com I would like to get the rest of your beers on my UK show? Cheers
