After months and months of anticipation, Bell's Batch 9,000 was finally packaged January 27th. This is one of those releases that beer geeks have been drooling over for quite some time. It was originally scheduled to be released in the fall of '09, but the beer just wasn't ready yet.
So what style is it and why does everybody in the beer world want it?
Batch 9,000 is a 12.5% abv Imperial Stout that is brewed with molasses and brewer's licorice. From the back of the label: Batch 9,000 is part of our commemorative series celebrating our progress with special brews. Black, dense and rich, this is a great ale for the cellar.
This pretty much sums up why everyone is trying to get a case of this or at least a 6er. I am crossing my fingers that Fargo/Moorhead gets some of this, but if not I may need to road trip to the Twin Cities.
Jon, from Stub and Herbs, just let everyone over at BeerAdvocate know they he is supposed to be getting a keg of it in. Whether he taps it in the near future or Darkness Eve (big beer party the night before Darkness Day), is the big question.
Retail price on this one is supposed to be are $18 a 6er and it will definitely be worth it. I will post a review here once I get chance to try it.
