Black Whole is a tribute to El Chupa Cobras, a math indie band from Montgomery, Alabama. This effort came about from our realization that craft beer and indie music have something in common… they both share about the same amount of their respectful markets and challenge the consumer. Wayne Wambles, our head brewer, and Kenny Johnson, the front man from El Chupa Cobras, played in indie bands together many years ago and this tribute is for all indie music fans and craft beer lovers. Black Whole is a multidimensional ale that takes many twists and turns similar to our daily lives. It has a big chocolate expression with moderate caramel notes, complex toasted to biscuit notes and hints of clove and black licorice. Don your chocolate mask and discover the meaning of life as you sip this complex, dark beer.

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

    Rated in 2012. 12oz bottle courtesy of markwise. It pours dark mahogany with tall almost rocky mocha like head of foam. The aroma offers up some dark fruity esters, tobacco-ee earthiness, black licorice, earthy molasses and some dark roasted coffee. The taste is prickly due to the elevated carbonation levels and delivers dark roasted coffee, molasses, earthy chocolate notes, black licorice and some burnt malts. It ends with lingering dark roasted malts, a bit of burnt malts and a coffee like sensation.
