Holy Mackerel Mack in Black

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

Thanx to Bob gordash for sharing this at Redlight.Pours a gloomy black color with a small khaki head.The nose has chocolate all over it.the flavor was definately interesting. At 1st the chocolate slams into you and after that its little brother, the pommegrante comes by and kicks you some more.Well balanced beer, getting all the flavors intended.Also there was some vinous grape notes, wine like here.The finish had some tanginess to it.Well done.

I’m baffled. It didn’t really seem like the best idea. This black ale has a small head. It has lots of roasted coffee in the aroma and a bit of tangy pom. The acidity of the pomegranate compliments the roasted malt flavors PERFECTLY. Seriously fantastic tasting. I need more.

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.

12oz bottle thanks to masonjer...dark cola brown pour with reddish-brown edges and a thin light brown head... deeply roasted aroma and some subtle tart fruit in the background....lots or roasted malt and smoke in the flavor along with chocolate and a hint of tart cranberry/pom in the finish. decent mouthfeel but didn’t hold everything together well.

Bottle from Dakine, thanks Dak. Pours a dark black with a medium to large tan head that falls off quickly. Sweet berry notes, chocolate syrup, roast. Thin to medium bodied. Starts off with a huge rush of sweetness, that was most unexpected. The pomegranate comes through big time here and is quite interesting. Finishes with a nice roast bitterness.

Bottle compliments of daknole. Dark black pour with tan ring of small bubbles around the edge. Big aroma of dark roasted coffee and dusty chocolate. Pleasant flavour of more chocolate and coffee, definitely some dark fruits in the middle and then finishes like chocolate milk. Not an Impy stout that’s going to knock you over but a great drink.

Bottled, courtesy TheBeerSommelier. Pours opaque black with a medium-sized light brown head that is partially-to-mostly diminishing. Dark cocoa nose with some light roast (coffee) - rather light aroma overall. Mildly sweet flavor up front, a touch of berry sweetness sneaks in (but barely), followed closely with bittersweet cocoa, black coffee and a bit of tea. Finish is very, very nutty - peanuts and sunflower seeds. With further sips, the pomegranate is quite a bit more noticeable, and the nutty finish remains.

Pours black, with a light brown head. Aroma is fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Flavor is malt, chocolate, fruit, and coffee. Different, but certainly likable.
