This intense Imperial Stout is defined by its high bitterness from the hops and the sweetness from the malt and alcohol, it creates a good balance which makes Black Hole an explosion of nuances, but also leaves a feeling of a complex beer. 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.

Semmi hab, fekete szín. Csokis, kakaós, aszalt gyümölcsös illat. Csokis, kakaós, kávés, aszalt gyümölcsös ízek, némi orvosságos, földes beütéssel. Testes, enyhén szénsavas, erősen keserű. Nagyon dícsérik, és érzem is benne a potenciált, csak nekem nem nagyon jön be ez az orvosságos vonal.

Bottle. A- Sharpie, alcohol. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Bitter, cocoa, booze, marker. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- Not sure I get any coffee, honey, or vanilla. Big and boozy. Almost too much. Solid beer but a bit overwhelming to drink a bottle alone.

2014 edition, on tap at Mikkeller & Friends in Copenhagen. How much more Mikkeller can you get than that? Has a very modest head and pure brown-black body. Smells of roasted grape juice, soft wood veneer and cheap corner store milk chocolate. Flavour is soft ruby red wine, hints of rhubarb, sweet finish. Could be more interesting, yet drinkable and that 13% is nowhere to be seen. Yet, I’ve had better big imperial stouts than this.

11.12.2017, 0,375l bottle (bottled 01.07.2008) sampled @ BBGTC tasting:
No head. Aroma is slightly sweet mineraly, weeds, minerals, booze, bark, dark sugar, burnt coffee, burnt caramel, chocolate, hay. Taste is sweet mineraly, dark sugar, weeds, ashes, minerals, burnt sour coffee, alcohol, bark, licorice, mocha. Medium bitterness, sweet and slightly harsh mineraly mouthfeel. Fair enough, way better fresh.

0.375 l bottle from 'drankgigant.nl', best before February 2020 so 2015 vintage I guess, cellared for a year. Pitch black with a beautiful, medium large, frothy and slightly creamy, stable, dark beige head. Intense, sweetish-malty, moderately roasty and slightly fruity-resiny aroma of dark chocolate, licorice, coffee, dark and tropical fruits as well as hints of pine and some alcohol. Rather sweet, moderately roasty-bitter, malty, slightly fruity-resiny taste of dark chocolate, coffee, lots of licorice, dark fruits, tropical fruits, pine and a touch of honey, followed by a very long, intensely roasty-bitter, boozy and resiny finish. Full body, creamy to oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very intense stuff, hardly balanced and a bit too much of the alcohol detectable, but then also a nice slow sipper for the cold days.
