Ten FIDY vs. Breakfast Stout

both are great but Ten Fidy wins with me.

 

Ten Fidy. Don't know how anyone could call this beer overrated. It's amazing! (I had my first can two nights ago)

 

Ten Fidy any day over FBS!

 

FBS

 

I think the claims of "overrated" are mainly due to the higher price compared to similar offerings. For instance at my local TW it's $15.99 I believe for a 4-pack of Ten FIDY, while Expedition Stout (a superior beer IMO) goes for $16.99 a sixer.

That said, I think Ten FIDY is great and have a couple cans left in my fridge right now... But considering I've already gone through 3 cases of FBS this season, it's rather obvious which one is my favorite of the two.

 

Both are excellent beers. I would be tough to choose one or the other. I wish both were distributed here.

 

Both are solid stouts but FBS is cheaper so it wins.

 

Mactintosh vs. Golden Delicious would be a better analogy because they are both apples with different flavor profiles.

 

Breakfast Stout, hands down. Ten Fidy is syrupy and boozy.

 

You say that like it's a universal negative.

 

I believe this is synonymous with delicious and amazing ....

 

Hilarious..."Devolve into inane banter" Anyone else find this comment, based on its message to be a little bit ironic? Just a tad?

 

It is to me. I wasn't trying to state a universal opinion, just my own.

 

I figured, but I've read so much stuff BAs post in threads & reviews such as "it's a boozy mess" instead of "the alcohol is not well integrated/masked/hidden imo" or "I don't personally care for a strong barrel note", etc. Some people might actually like this and/or the brewer may have actually intended the beer to be like this.

Wasn't trying to, nor am I presently, flame/pick a fight.
It's clear you don't care for Ten Fidy and that's perfectly fine.
More Ten Fidy for me

 

The baby on the label is just adorable so of course FBS.

 

Well the good news for 2013 is FBS is expanding to a sixer, I prefer the FBS but have to hand it to Ten Fidy in being amazingly smooth and creamy in mouthfeel from what I have had since it came to Ohio. Gotta try the cans I've only had it via growler purchase.

 

My vote is Ten Fidy on tap.

 

Ten Fidy

 

Had never tried either until last night when I had my first FBS. I was shocked (in a great way) how smooth it was and the perfect balance of the coffee flavor. Big, big fan.

I have a Ten Fidy, haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

 

bought some Ten Fidy the day it hit stores this year, one of my all time favorites.

havent bought a single FBS this year.

but thats just me.
