Mikkeller Black Hole

pours a thick and very dark black with little to know head though the cork was good. aroma is strong and complex!...dark fruit, fig, bitter bakers chocolate, coffee, and alcohol. flavor has loads of coffee...also some dark fruit, bitter chocolate, and a hint of anise. nice hoppiness makes for a bitter finish. mouthfeel is thick and sticky at the end but somehow a bit thin up front. lack of head retention and slightly thin mouthfeel are the only things that kepth this one from being outstanding.

Pours black with brown highlights, 3cm of brown head that slowly fizzes away, but not entirely. Aroma is milk chocolate, or chocolate milkshake, vanilla, roastedness, a little coffee and a tiny bit of hops with a hint of alcohol heat. Taste is much the same, sweet, sweet chocolate, coffee, vanilla, rum, malt, ashes. The alcohol is actually pretty well hidden. Mouthfeel is thick, smooth, creamy, and I dunno why, but I think of flour when drinking it. I am a sweettooth, and have been looking for a sweeter imp stout, but this is too much sweetness for me. Becomes more bitter after it warms a little, though. And it’s not too sweet to not be quite enjoyable after all. Very much a sipper, spent an hour+ on a 0.35 bottle.

Bottle. The aroma is strong, coffee , malt and dark chocolate. A nice smell. The head is nearly non existing, brown and fizzy. The body is black. The taste is bitter, strong and malty. The duration is very long. Not much carbonation, the body is strong, heavy and dry-creamy. Nice Stout.

Dark tan head good carbonation very dark stout head to mild cover aroma coffee caramel malty perfume aroma pine chocolater fruit notes very smooth flavour fruit rich bitter right on coffee mocha caramel smooth chocolate mild fruit is like intense raisin or berries perhaps figs a nice taste confusing but great sweetness is great this is a superb IMP the thirteen percent is outdone by the flavours finish great body malt bitter fizz grittyness nearly faultless stout

On tap ølbaren March 20.Pitch black and oily.Huge tan head.A VERY complicated beer.Chocolate and fruit with a roasted woody taste.Wonderful beer.

Aroma is coffee and cocoa. Nice very black appearance. Seems like a big imperial. Excellent flavor, very drinkable beer. I usually do not like stouts that much because they are so bitter and sharp. This beer is really just sweet enough to keep me engaged while being just sharp enough to keep me entertained. I really like it a lot.

this is a hard beer to review. first it has a all the right components to for a perfect Imperial stout, but that where the faults is. the real problem is that the beer is too sweet. the cocoa and coffee is too over saturated with molasses that it makes it hard to drink. however the after coffee flavors is very good. still I think its worth a try.

The aroma is great with espresso, chocolate, heavily toasted malt, and dark fruit. The appearance is black with a tan head. The flavor is not good. It’s like the aroma but too sweet with a burnt coffee finish. The palate is average for the style. Overall it’s not one I would buy again.
