Ten fidy vs Expedition

But both of these are better than Founder's IS. IMHO.

 

Why can't I vote ?

Both beers have great quality's , Both age really well , Bell's is more hoppy out the gate but mellows nicely with a year on it , TenFidy is good to go right out the gate ..Both are solid but since I wasn't able to vote the world will never know which one I chose ..

 

Just had my 1st Ten Fidy. Very nice!! Even brought one home ( thanks Troy ).
Gotta give Expedition the nudge though.

Now value overall = Ten Fidy wins out.

 

If both are fresh I might pick a Ten Fidy. But I always have Expedition in the cellar so I don't usually have that problem. Last year I laid some Ten Fidys down (put them next to the Expeditions so maybe they will learn from them) so we'll see what happens.

 

Not sure... but just had a Beer Geek Breakfast and a Founder's Breakfast Stout and the Mikkeller totally kills it. Way better.

 

I feel like ten fidy is more balanced in that the roasty flavors work well with the carbonation and you can tell it is high abv but in a good way. Though it is sweet it doesn't tast like some dirty syrup.

Expedtion is a more interesting taste, and i feel like licorice really stands out. It feels more exotic and the boosiness is nice and not overwhelming but it is a tad sweet.

Both very nice beers.

Id rather have an expedition once in a while; i keep ten fidy in the fridge for....whenever soembody wants a stout and we don't feel like opening a crazy one.

 

To me its not even close. Ten Fidy all the way!

 

I agree with this 100%. Beer Geek Breakfast was awesome, I finally got to try a FBS because my liquor store guy traded for some cool stuff and hooked a few of us up with some. I was super disappointed after all the hype. Mikkeller kills the coffee stout market.

I commented before and I already voted Expedition, but I agree with what some people are saying here. Ten Fidy wins fresh, but IMO Expedition is the better overall

 

I've never had Expedition fresh, but I had an '08 last year and it was one of the best beers I've ever had. Again, can't speak for fresh, but Expedition wins by a lot for me.

 

Ten Fidy 4.25 > Expedition 3.65

Cheers!

 

Quality above all else. Ten Fidy.

 

expedition is a little harsh at first, but with a little age, those hops really mellow out, the alcohol fades, and the flavors mend together very nicely...easily putting it past ten fidy. having said that, fresh out of a new batch, ten fidy wins.

 

Looking at my ratings, it's Ten Fidy by a small margin over Expedition (4.47 over 4.43). And coincidentally I just bought a 4 pack of Ten Fidy today (and some Deviant Dales too) in honor of Oskar Blues coming to Ohio! But I do like both brews a lot, I can't go wrong with either one.

 

I don't feel comfortable storing beer in a can. It tends to taste like the can. The can is all I seem to taste no matter how old it is!!!!!!!! and for the expedition it getts better with age, and starts off pretty good fresh!!!!!

 

love both beers but give Expedition the slightest of edge.
