$10.50… I mean Ten Fidy

I finally tried my can (yes, a can of craft beer) of Oskar Blues’ Ten Fidy Imperial Stout (yes, an Imperial Stout in a can).  I have to say that this is one of the best Imperial Stouts I’ve had.  It pours a nice thick black with a very small tan head.  I don’t know if it was my allergies or not, but I couldn’t detect a whole lot of aroma from it.  Maybe a slightly hoppy aroma (which is odd for a stout as that’s all I got).  The flavor, however, was awesome.  It’s smooth roasted malty goodness, along with a nice bitter coffee/dark chocolate flavor really made this beer an easy drinker.  And at 10% ABV, it’s strong, though it drinks like it’s only 5%.  I don’t know where the name comes from because it’s not 10.50%, and it doesn’t cost $10.50… I guess I’ll never know.  It’s just a great Imperial Stout and something that any stout lover should definitely try.  Don’t fear the can (at least not in this case).
