    I am finishing a can of Ten Fidy which had been cellared for a little over a year. I am really enjoying sipping on this and it reminds me of a bit milder version of the 20 year old Sam Adams Triple Bock.
    Not sure if anyone else has had this, but it is a very good beer with a little time on it. Actually aged it by mistake...just got pushed to the back a few times...

    Ten Fidy is amazing at any and every age that I have tried, fresh through 3 years. This is a common/popular opinion in the cellaring forum.

    I was given a 2006 Ten Fidy in a trade in late 2014. Held onto it until early this year to get it to 10 years. Thought it was excellent. Had it along side a fresh can and definitely preferred the aged one.

    Thanks for the replies....I have had this beer several times now and it seems to get more enjoyable each time. An absolute classic that is relatively easy to find...no lotteries, no lines

    One of my favorites and it keeps getting better. I've only had it up to 2 years and honestly I think it's over rated fresh, but with 1-2 years it's damn good.

    You could age Ten Fidy in the trunk of a car parked in Miami and it would still taste good after several years.
