Holy Mackerel Mack in Black
Name – Holy Mackerel Mack in Black
Country – United States
Type – American Strong Ale
Appearance – Pours a pretty much jet black color with a big light brown head. It also left some decent lacing on the glass.
Smell – Roasted malts and coffee pretty much are the main smell but you can pick up some dark fruit as well.
Taste – Really busy taste. I get roasted malts, pomegranate, cocoa, dark chocolates and a little sweet caramel. There is a bit of an alcohol burn to it but not a lot.
I had the other Holy Mackerel brew awhile ago and didn’t really like it much. This one is quite a deal better. The classification of American strong ale could be debated as I find a lot more Belgian influence in it. The taste is very complex and was very enjoyable. Made just about 2 hours north of me in Melbourne, this is a Florida brewed beer I can be proud of.
Overall Grade – B+
