The brewing wizards at Oskar Blues fill bourbon barrels with Ten FIDY Imperial Stout and then patiently wait a full eight months while the wood works its magic. During that time, the classic stout is infused with deep, rich flavors of vanilla, bourbon and oak. For a big beer that’s layered with complexity, Barrel-Aged Ten FIDY is balanced and temperate on the palate, the extended stay in-barrel ensuring a smooth, warm drinking experience perfect for long, cold winter nights.

Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 33B: Bourbon / 20C). Can 35.5 cl - Batch 143 (BB undeclared - canned on 01/05/21). AROMA: medium-high vinous bourbon aroma with slight wood note, faint dark chocolate in the background. APPEARANCE: dark brown color and opaque with slight ruby highlights. medium-low to low brown head with medium-low retention. leg formation. TASTE: initial medium bourbon flavor, followed by dark chocolate, molasses and a bit of roasty malt. initially somewhat sweet quickly balanced by medium bitterness from hops and roasted malt. finishes almost dry and slightly roasty but not burnt. MOUTHFEEL: velvety high body with medium-low carbonation. alcoholic warmth not very harsh. OVERALL: although the aroma is a bit bourbon-agressive, the flavor seems to be more balanced rendering it a good sipping IS.

Can. Pitch black colour with a mediumsized brown head. Aroma is chocolate, some oak, vanilla, liquorice, mild alcohol and some tobacco tones. Flavour is roasted malts, some chocolate, cigars, alcohol and some vanilla tones. Easy going, but still very full of things.

Large rocky tan head stayed on a still black body. Whisky, malt & chocolate aroma. Full bodied, super smooth, creamy & sticky with a dry back. Chocolate, plum, blueberry, malt & light citrussy tastes with a big boozy whisky finish. Very nice.
