330 ml bottle. Black. Coffe aroma. Rich green apple aromas. Dry roastiness from malts. The richness from esters dominate too much, and hides the malts and their roastiness. Disappointing. "The beer for curry". Hello? A photo of Michael Jackson on the back label -- please get over it -- focus on the quality of the beer instead. At the moment it is not at all impressing. I tried this about two years ago. I remember it as much better then.

Courtesy boboski. Black with dark brown edges and a small, frothy light brown head. Aroma of roasted chocolate and coffee ice cream, some dry grains, also. Same flavor, rich and tasty, not very complex, but very good. Medium/full body, smoother than balanced.

Big bottle. Have waited 3+ years for this brew until I found it in Århus. Great thing. My waitingtime has not been loseless. Excellent aroma and a rather welltasting roasted malt in the flavor makes this brew unique.

625 mL bottle: Full rocky brown head that leaves a dusty Styrofoam layer on the inside of the glass and emits a milk chocolaty aroma with hints of tar and dark blueberries. Light peppery bitterness on the tongue that mixes with some blackened fruits and sweet truffles to offer up a nice mouth feel and a tasty treat.

Pleasantly surprised. Beautiful black pour with a nice two finger brown head with nice retention. Flavors of chocolate, malt, coffee, molasses, oak and a hint of sweetness. Very smooth with minimal bitterness. A wonderful beer all around.

Aroma is subtle malt and chocolate,reminds me of Bosco, taste is very delicate but sublime chocolate malt and malt taste,mouthfeel is as smooth as silk,an amazing brew in this day of the big American bomber stouts, this one is still very special, You have to try it a dozen times to really appreciate how magnificent this is
