COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Finally……! Black Hole is what Mikkeller is all about. Daring, vulgar and extreme. From the very beginning Mikkellers goal has been to push the limit and with this warming, intense imperial stout, a new chapter in the Danish beer history has been written. The high bitterness from the hops and the sweetness from the malt and alcohol, creates a good balance which makes Black Hole an explosion of nuances, but also leaves a feeling of a perfect and complex beer – in the heavyweight category.

angelkostvo (299) - CZECH REPUBLIC - JUN 18, 2013
Black color with one finger beige head. Aroma of tropical fruits (surprisingly), chocolate, anise, cocoa, quite hoppy. Taste is light to medium sweet, a bit sour (in a good way) and almost no bitterness. Medium body, creamy slick texture, soft carbonation. One of the most interesting Imperial Stouts I have had!

Bottle. Black with tan head. Aroma is peach and soy sauce. Taste is the same but adds some coffee grounds and char. Oily mouthfeel. Pretty strange but not bad. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Black, burnt, very deeply roasted malts. Boozy and dry at the end, preempted by malt sweetness. Not great.

2010 bottle lots of thick creamy head, plenty of motor oil. The head is gone and now I smell coffee and lots of sweetness. st odeons beast! This shit is good. Coffee, roasted malts, and hint of booze but well hidden for the ABV, it’s what the description says...Complex!

Torrefacto (87) - - MAY 10, 2013
Color negro opaco, con espuma beige abundante y densa. Aromas especiados, canela y maltas tostadas con ligeros toques alcohólicos. En boca es compleja, posee un sabor intenso en el que se integran de forma muy equilibrada toques dulces y amargos acafetados que se muestran simultáneamente, aunque finalmente se imponen éstos últimos. No obstante, también se deja ver un ligero picazón muy agradable. posee una densidad media que facilita mucho su trago. ¡¡¡Sorprendente!!!
