Holy Mackerel Mack in Black

Brewed by Florida Beer Company
Style: Imperial Stout
Melbourne, Florida USA

12 oz bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours an opaque black color with a small tan head that soon diminishes. The aroma is rich with dark chocolate, milk chocolate and a bit of coffee. The taste is not quite up to the high expectations set by the aroma. The flavor is mostly coffee, mocha and dark chocolate, but the palate is a bit off. The mouthfeel is thin and acidic. The finish is long with lingering cocoa. Overall: Strengths outweigh flaws, A very tasty stout. Thanks Dakine.

12 oz bottle Thanks to Axilla. Poured deep brown almost black in color with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate malt, dark fruits, mild roast. Tastes of smooth sweet chocolate, dark fruits, nuts, and molasses. Nice body, smooth mouth feel. Actually a bit better then I was expecting. This was certainly very drinkable.

12 oz. bottle via trade with laroja - Pours a clear dark brown color with a 1/2 finger thick tan head that faded pretty quick. Light carbonation and no lacing. Aroma is chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor is dark esters, lightly sweetened chocolate malt and light roasted malt. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Slight lingering aftertaste. A decent beer. Thanks Morgan.

Aroma is soy, molasses, dark malts, lots of sweetness. Appearance is dark, deep brown, slight fizzy tan-brown head that does not linger overlong. Taste is sweet and malty with a little bit of saltiness, some dryness, molasses, soy. Finish is a touch fizzy, not too cloying, and slightly dry. Very well done. Thanks daknole!

Pours a beautiful near black with dark, barely perceivable garnet highlights and a fair brown head that quickly fades to a miniscule thin ring of head. Great chocolate aroma. Flavor tastes sweet, molasis, caramel, and slightly burnt. Body is medium and lightly carbonated. Cloying sweetness in the finish. I don’t detect any fruit until the aftertaste. Very enjoyable.

Pours attractive deep brown with a dark tan head. The nose is sweet and chocolate malt. The flavor has this influence, along with a cloying sweetness that makes it just odd.

Pours a dark black with no head at all, nor is there any trace of lacing along the sides of the glass. The nose is extreamly roasty with hints of dark fruit. You can really smell the esters that were formed from the pomegranate juice. The flavor is full of dark roasted malt mixed with dark fruit and a nice bitterness that sticks to your mouth. Overall it has a nice robust flavor with a good amount of carbonation and a great well balanced flavor.
