Opaque black beer. Airy chocolate malt nose. Airy light palate. Rich soft dark malt with unsweet dark chocolate and a shot of espresso coffee bitterness. These flavours surrounded by the creamy smoothness and softness of the palate. There is a faint something fruity underneath, well buried. Finishes smooth and dry with minerals. Bitterish aftertaste. Good but falls short of the best.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with no head. The aroma is smokey malt and roast. Thin mouthfeel with a chocolate roast and smokey finish. A very good Imperial stout from Bells.

Bottle from a trade long ago. Black with a red clay shine around the edges, low head. Dark chocolate aroma, light allspice and cinnamon, lurking pines. Roasted chocoree, strong chocolate, port wine. Vanilla, berries and cigars in the aftertaste. Mellow full body, the slightesh tingle on the tongue makes the flavours come to life. Roasted coffe and wood stays on the tongue. The bottle aged wonderfully - a great drink.

Sehr malziger Antrunk, passend leicht süß, im Mittelteil noch würziger werdend. Etwas herb, der Alkohl ist nicht erkennbar. Etwas ölig, die Malzigkeit wirkt etwas klebrig. Der Geschmack ist nicht besonders vielfältig sondern nur auf eine möglichst hohe Malzigkeit ausgelegt. Im Abgang minimal süßer, angenehm malzig aber irgendwie nicht tiefgehend. Dennoch ein fülliges Bier. Danke an den Doppelbock für das Bier. -/11/11/11/10/11

Many thanks to Styles for the bottle. Pours deep dark black with tan head. Nose of licorice, dark syrupy chocolate, molasses, barrel, coffee and vanilla. Taste is dark roast coffee, licorice, massive amounts of chocolate, vanilla, molasses, raisin and barrel. Some spicy hops or chili pepper in the deep background.

Bottle side by side with the 9000. Pours out black topped with a small creamy head. Aroma was of cocoa, vanilla, pit fruit, and dark roast. Taste much as the aroma lots of sweetness molasses, chocolate, pit fruit, and coffee.
