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.

Pours jet black with a brown head. Strong coffee aroma. Coffee, chocolate, molasses, alcohol is noticeable. Not bad but it's pretty intense. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

SperkeleForce (134) - FINLAND - APR 8, 2013
Bottle @ Pikkulintu. Pours black really black. Scent is like Mikellers barley wine. Notes of burnt, licorice, coffee, burnt malt, chocolate. With ABV of 13.2% its not really showing. Kind of an blend of barley wine and imperial stout. Nice layout of bottle.

At an evening of Mikkellers at Bar Volo, impresive lineup. Malty sweet chocolate, and noticeably strong warming alcohol.

agent_persik (106) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAR 22, 2013
Black color, medium brown head. Aroma of fruity hops and coffee. Taste is balanced - dry, sweet and bitter, full of roasted malts, caramel, dark fruits, dark chocolate, licorice, with hops and coffee in finish and aftertaste. Full body and soft carbonation, 13% alcohol is very well hidden. Complex, delicious and heavy.

Bottle from 5 bar. Pours a jet black with a small tan head with incredible lacing. Aromas of oak barrels, vanilla sweetness and espresso. Taste is heavy on the vanilla, lingering espresso and a warming from the alcohol. Great beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

solidfunk (1790) - Ontario, CANADA - MAR 15, 2013
Decent. A little unbalanced - too heavy on the syrup. Nonetheless it drinks pretty decent. Pours black with no head, slight lacing. Has some musky chocolate and booze in smell. Finishes a little too sweet from the syrup. Bottle tasting at volos.

csakajosor, Budapest Thanks Armando! Teljesen sötét, mély fekete színe van, amit bekeretez a világos barna, rendkívül krémes hab. Szép! Illata minőségi csokoládé likőrös, illatos szőlős, fűszeres, aszalt sötét gyümölcsös, édeskés, nagyon behízelgő. A felsorolt finomságok mind ott rohangálnak az ízében is, kiegészülve aszalt meggyel, szilvával, valódi fekete csokoládéval, rumos rumos meggybefőttel, pici kávéval, érlelt burley dohánnyal és komlóval. Egymást váltják kaotikusan az ízek, másodpercenként változik és lepi meg az embert. Sűrű, likőrös állaga van, apró buborékok vannak benne és zsongít a magas alkohol tartalma. Utóíze keserédes, simogató és nem túl száraz, gyümölcsös. Ez a fekete lyuk engem beszippantott, megsimogatott és elandalított, aztán megsemmisített. Szerelmes lettem!
