And we tried a new to us stout from Oskar Blues....the Ten FIDY
It poured much like motor oil!
Here's the write up about it from the Oskar Blues website:
Ten FIDY Imperial Stout - Now (11-21-07) available in cans, our winter seasonal beer is immensely viscous and loaded with neck-deep flavors of chocolate, malt, coffee, cocoa and oats.
It's the beer equivalent of decadently rich milkshake made with malted-milk balls and Heaven’s best chocolate ice cream. Ten FIDY is about 10% ABV and is made with enormous amounts of two-row malts, chocolate malts, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Its huge-but-comforting flavors hide a whopping 98 IBUs that are deftly tucked underneath the beer’s mountains of malty goodness.
Ten FIDY is the ultimate Rocky Mountain winter warmer, and further proof of the creative muscle of our beloved brewing staff. Look for fourpacks of Ten FIDY in select beer stores in Colorado. Out of state? We hope to send a few cases to a few of our other states in early '08.
Here's a sampling of the mighty praise heaped on Ten FIDY:
* "The Beer of the Year" – The Denver Post
* "100 Rating" – Ratebeer.com
* "A-Rating" – Beeradvocate.com
* "This one puts the ‘A’ in ‘Holy Crap!’" -- Beer Advocate Magazine
* "The biggest, baddest, boldest beer in a can." -- Celebrator Beer News
* "A freaking gentle-giant masterpiece and the world's richest canned beer." - Us
