Bottle from the fan shop in Bamberg and drunk with Nelson. Black beer lasting tan head. Chocolate aroma. Hides abv well. Smooth good chocolate and a little coffee. I thought rather good. Easy drinking. It's a fine chocolate imperial stout. Decent.

Bottle from the fan shop in Bamberg and drunk with Nelson. Dark brown black colour. Lasting tan head. Big coffee aroma. Some chocolate aroma. Mostly coffee. I mean like so many of these Weyermann beers. You think it'll be too big here or there bit this is remarkably well balanced. Some hop sting on the finish. Good quality coffee throughout. I liked it.
