    Coffee oatmeal stout vs a Russian Imperial stout very different beers in many ways. But in the end I enjoy FBS more that Fidy

    I just don't understand why there is ALWAYS someone taking/wasting time out of their life to bitch about something that no one asked them to bitch about (yes, I'm currently bitching).
    If you don't like the topic after the first few posts, just move on to another site (I like the topic).
    It's so easy.

    I like reading other people's subjective opinions on TASTE.
    either answer or ignore, hey seuss christ.

    that being said...Ten Fidy...never caught obsession with FBS.
    that ALSO being said, if anyone wants to trade FBS for some CCB, let me know.
    we get plenty here.

    Never tried either but I have some Ten Fidy waiting for me at home when I come back to the states. Looking forward to trying it.

    Both Great Beers, but different. I like coffee so I'd say Breakfast Stout. Plus it also depends on buying. 4 packs of Breakfast Stout are about $5 cheaper around me than 4 packs of Ten Fidy, so I guess it depends who's buying too.

    I agree. I prefer my imperial stouts without adjuncts like coffee and choclate

    What? No Blackout Stout enters the mix? That shit rules.

    Have you had Samuel Smith Organic Chocolate Stout?
    If not, I would recommend.
    Talk about a strong baker's chocolate taste...

    Ten Fidy by a tiny margin.

    If I drank one right after the other, my answer would change with each consecutive glass.

    FBS for me
    Plus it has a baby on the label. That really bothers my wife. So it is a plus.

    Ten fidy is great though

    To be fair, that baby is kinda creepy.

    Lemme see. 10-12 bucks for 22 oz of Yeti or 9-11 dollars for 48oz of FBS. Easy choice for me! FBS every time.

    I agree with parts of most comments here. Apples to oranges however if I had to only choose one to drink it would be FBS hands down. Much smoother than Fidy. Fidy has a bitter finish to it which I could not drink as often. Just my opinion.

    FBS for me all day long. Last time I even bought Ten Fidy was when I found two year old cans - in cold storage - for $11 a four pack. Even then, I found myself thinking that I wouldn't buy it again unless it was a similar price/age ratio. Fresh (and closer to $15 a four pack now), I don't even think about purchasing it. But again, personal preference.
