This is a very unique little brewery. They have managed to stand out in a sea of new and imported micro brews. The first thing youll notice is they use cans. Yea seriously shitty little cans. Its hard to imagine anyone being taken seriously using cans. The image I get in my head is of a product demo, everyone is in suits and of course the beer aficionados are in full force reeking of douchebaggery. Then the product is brought out and its a ghetto lookin can called "Ten-FIDY". Im pretty sure everyone in the room would just reach down their throats and turn them selves inside out at the sight. Like how can you market it as premium, I really can't imagine Timothy Dalton CRACKING OPEN A Ten-FIDY. Yes when I think of high class I think of Timothy Dalton, what can I say. He was the best bond right? RIGHT?
Moving on I was at this little pub pizza place right near my place and after a bunch of drinks the overly insane, hot waitress(She was a win on the hot crazy scale) comes over to our table and asks if I want anything else. I said to her "surprise me" hoping for a Bj or some shit but she gets this insane look on her face and runs over to the racks of beer they have and grabs of all things A CAN OF BEER. Now this place is known for having unique and pricey imports and so on. So at this point I assumed I was actually passed out on the floor drooling on my self. But again no BJ so clearly I was awake. Anyway she brings it over and asks if I know anythgin abuot it and ofc I diddnt. She makes a comment about the founders being stoners and they choose cans so they could have beer and a pipe while hiking. She continued on to make come comment abotu stoners taking over...yea.
The Taste
Well this is where it all gets intresting. I poured my ten-Fidy which is an imperial stout into my glass. Seriously it looked like flat coke. It viscosity was terrifying, like spiders. I mean this wasn't the avg dark beer thickness. It was fucking like that dark water shit from pirates of dark water(if you dont know what that is plz die). The smell is insane, the look is insane but the taste YEA ITS STILL FUCKING INSANE. Its picasos vision of a stout. You get the idea of what it is but holy god is it bizzare. I let everyone at my table try it. Many faces were made. That being said its not too bad. I would drink it again of my own free will, unlike their second offering of the night. I tried the Gubna(think guv'na but retarded or if a deaf guy said it). This.....thing..... If I were to mix you a drink of Busch light, pine sol and smelly pot, would you drink it? WOULD YOU? Fuck no you would not, well at least not if you were living on this plane of existence. Well gubna tastes like that. I don't mean a hint of the forest, its punch you in the face cleaning agent. They list it as an imperial IPA. The fuck is that, does it go around eating all the other IPA's and shitting out their caps. Actually it might. That shit was intense, about as intense as beer tasting can get so like the intensity of your dryer, empty. I don't envision people with foam fingers at the edge of there seats for beer.
Now both of the products mentioned are 10% ABV. They are fucking strong in all ways. No matter what I said if you like new beer and want something completely unique. Oskar Blues products are the way to go. Seriously try them even if you don't like it they are completely worth it. You'll be hard pressed to find something so unique and powerful. Their shit is over 9000.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the Stout forms a head like most shit lagers do. It was bizarre to see a 10% foam so much.
