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.

Torrefacto (65) - - 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!!!

Poured a little lighter than I thought. Beautiful, smooth stout with nice, mellow coffee notes. One of my new favorites.

dutchtuga (71) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - APR 29, 2013
Great stout with the alcohol not taking over all the taste. Nice bitterness and sweet taste, maybe a little too sweet for my taste. Nice balance, but a little much towards the sweet side.

capali1234 (250) - HUNGARY - APR 27, 2013
Smells super hoppy, almost like ammonia. Taste is shocking! Chocolate, agave, molasses, grains, cream, bit of honey, some hops toward the finish, very good...

RexTalionis (1430) - FINLAND - APR 26, 2013
Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours black in color with a creamy beige head. Roasted notes, some licorice, roasted coffee and peppery spicy notes in aroma. Sweet chocolate cake in taste, some strong coffee and bit of burnt brown sugar in flavor. Pretty nice flavor, even if it feels quite sweet from time to time. Rich mouthfeel though, roasted notes and some dark bitter chocolate in aftertaste and long-lasting roasted notes of coffee. A bit of cardamom spicyness and slight burning warmth in finish.
