From here it looks like Aloe dichotoma, but can't say for sure. Tapio, maybe you could ask Jürgen?

Yes I thought dichotoma also but it looks so different from what I have in the ground. Maybe some of the smaller well watered nursery raised ones have all these leaves left.

Anyone else please have a guess. I kind of wanted it to be different from what I have :D

Aloe 'Hercules'?
I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

Yes you are correct! I went back to the nursery and found a small ID tag that said so. Hercules although nice is way too fast growing and huge for what I want. Thanks.
