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.

Confirmed, the head is huge, brown, and adds creamy texture to the start of this beer. It fades after a bit. Aromas are sweet and fruity. Flavor is of red fruit like cherry, strawberry, and of slight roasted malt. Finish is sweet and malty. Decent well rounded stout. Bottle from The Glenwood.

Ecco la famigerata/famosa stout cui Michael Jackson ha lasciato la sua faccia! è in effetti un’ottima birra - molto meglio di quanto mi aspettassi; uno spettacolo a vedersi e anche piuttosto gustosa.

pineypower (1735) - Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA - JAN 1, 2008
Pours out black with a tiny beige head. Aroma of dark fruit, roasted malt and slight chocolate. Very smooth mouthfeel. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate dark fruit, some licorice and slight earthy tobacco taste that you get from a maduro cigar. Would make a great cigar beer. Very Solid

Cybercat (1734) - Georgia, USA - JAN 13, 2010
Pours a deep, opaque sable with a fine-bubbled and fairly persistent tan head. Aroma is smoky with firm tones of coffee and unsweetened chocolate with more than a hint of burnt caramel. Rich, smoky flavor is mainly of fine roast coffee, unsweet chocolate and caramel, subtly sweet. Texture is fairly smooth yet quite fizzy. A must for stout fans!

This is a good stout. Lots of flavor in the way of chocolate. Very dark, with a nice finish of the syrian hops.
