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.

Bottle split with Garrett. This is one that I have wanted to get my hands on for a while. Sean the ass raper has a bottle which he charged 25 dollars for (must be his service charge), but locally this beer was only 10 dollars. Thanks for the real deal on that one Smitty boy, next time I see you Ill be sure and give you a hot lunch. Pours out a dark black color with a tan head on it. Smell is sweet, full of coffee, and almost a banana like sweetness to it. Some chocolate and roasted smells as well. Taste is thin, much thinner than I was expecting, but it turns out this wasnt a bad thing at all. Full of coffee and chocolate in the taste, its like drinking an amped up version of Beer Geek, or Breakfast Stout. It has a nice hoppy flavor from being a freshly made beer, but in a couple of years this beer will be fantastic. More so than it already is. Awesome stuff, and the best beer of the night hands down.

Pours a three finger brown head that fades slowly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Black opaque color. Light-medium carbonation and heavy bodied. Coffee-alcohol nose. Flavor is roasted coffee and alcohol. Lingering burnt coffee aftertaste. Pricey at $10.09 for a 12.7oz bottle from John’s Marketplace Portland, OR. Label has the ABV at 13.1%.

Bottle. Pours black with a chocolate brown head. Probably the darkest head I’ve seen. Aroma of both sweet and roasted malt, with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and fruit. Full bodied. The flavor isn’t bad, but the alcohol is just a bit to noticeable. Primary notes are roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, fruit, and some bitter hops that reveal themselves in the finish. But again, the alcohol just smacks you right in the face, lessening the impact of the other flavors. This isn’t a bad beer by any means, but I think it would be much better if it was more in the 9-10% ABV range.
