Mikkeller Black Hole

Pours a very dark black with a thin tan head. Strong aroma of coffee and chocolate. It has a bit of a kick to it (which it should for 14%). Has a little bit of bitterness to it. Lots of coffee, chocolate, and a bit of dark fruit to the flavor. Almost has a syrup like consistency to it.

A deep dark stout with a thin dark brown head. In aroma, dark chocolate with black pepper notes, coffee beans, very rich. In mouth, a sharp aggressive IS, with chocolate, again the black pepper coming out, licorice, vanilla, and loads of alcohol. Kicks like a mule, as Karl would say. A wonderful IS which will improve with age. Taste July 5 with Probstk. Bieropholie imports.

first mikkeller and part1 nightcap for the 1st Stumelagram social ,...wow, very complex..with tar, and chocolate bombs .. enjoyable as a roll in the hay ... very roasty and black .... don’t chew the foil ... is truly great tasting stuff... i hope the rest are this good ..

Pours black with a medium sized brown head. Aromas of licorice, coffee, chocolate, and caramel. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Good Beer.

Poured black with a small brown head. Aroma sour, bitter chocolate, alcohol, coffee, old shoe leather, vinager, some dark fruits. flavor, ash tray , some sweetness like dark cheeries that do not have alot of flavor to them, coffee

Poured like it’s namesake from the bottle, with a tan/amber head that evaporated nearly instantly. There is little evidence of any carbonation, but I swear that this is made with champagne. There’s plenty of spice and cocoa, but the eement of champagne seems to push this beer into the realm of decadance.

Aroma: wine, honey, pepper, lovely, dark malt. Vinous as hell, sourish, coffee, vanilla, very piny & powerful hops. Tabascolike scent. Preserved strawberries. Rose hip.
Flavour: Peppery, malty, coffee, chocolate fudge. Very peculiar bittersweet flowery backbone. Elderberry & honey. Overall on the bitter, dark malty & floral side. Oatmeal can be sensed. This is freaking magic. Vinous...
Apperance: reddish black, slightly cloudy body with brown rind. Brown beige superfine bubbles leaving a film of foam. Quite spectacular.
Palate: velvety, smooth. Vinous. Slippery & dry feeling.

375 ml bottle shared with Lubiere, served cool in a goblet.

App.: Deep cola brown with ruby hints, tiny light mocha head. Aroma: An assault on the nostrils! Big black pepper, green resinous hops, some black coffee and dark chocolate, smokey. Palate: Medium-full body and sparse carbonation. Flav.: Very aggressive green peppercorns, huge amounts of resinous hops, some sweet malts but they are struggling; very spicy, quite bitter, biting and young; oily and mouth-coating..

ENORMOUS and needs to age I think.
