Even with rumors of distribution problems and no Dale's on the shelves elsewhere, Jubilation has stacks and stacks of their beer. I guess that's how they were able to negotiate such a "reasonable" price point.
I tried some Ten Fidy last night and can tell you that this is a big, big beer. It weighs in at 10% after all. Oh, I get it now...10%; TEN Fidy. Sometimes it helps me to work things out on paper.
The beer pours so dark and oily that next time I am just going to stab a hole in the side of the can and watch it glub glub into my glass. The mouthfeel is very smooth, almost like an oatmeal stout though I don't believe there is any added. I got a little licorice in the taste, though I feel the flavors will come through over time. Right now, the beer has a little too much alcohol for me. In fact, my girlfriend and I split one rather than each having one. I'll see how it tastes in six months or so. I never tried to age a canned beer before so it will be interesting.
