Lost Coast 8 Ball Stout

Brewed by Lost Coast Brewery & Cafe
Style: Sweet Stout
Eureka, California USA

8 Ball Stout is black with an orange hue. It has a fleeting light orange head that quickly fades to a small, bubbly ring. Dark, roasty malt dominates the aroma: coffee and chocolate and smoke. It has a smooth, medium-full body with a dry finish. It has a very well balanced flavor. The bitterness seems to come as much from the malt as it does the hops. There are notes of dark roast coffee, baking chocolate and maybe a hint of rye bread. It is resiny and oaken, with a touch of sweetness and medicine. A damn fine stout!

This is off the charts good, amazing and the only word that comes to mind is orgasmic. This beer exhibits everything that I want in a beer. Smoky, robustness and just overall yummyness. cheers to this one

thinnish pour, black with little to no head. muted dark roast aroma and taste, somewhat bitter finish which worked with the nose.

Black in color with a good sized tan head. Aromas are coffee, roasted malts and dark chocolate. Taste is roasted malts and coffee. Medium body.

12 fl oz bottle, thanks to cgarvieuk. Pours dark brown with a semi creamy and tan head. Solid roasted malt and chocolate aroma. Flavour is mild smoked and holds a solid roasted malt base. Light chocolate smoothness too. Light bitterness mixed with a nice roasted malt acidity. Light chocolate malt following. Ends with a light roasted acidity and smooth chocolate along a nice bitterness.

Pours like Guinness with a thick head of white foam. Much closer to a porter in consistency, and certainly not as creamy as one would expect, but a fine stout that offers the unexpected tatse of dates.

Black pour, light head. Coffee and slight chocolate, pretty balanced with carbonation. Good for the style. Nothing real extreame here, good for someone just adventuring into dark beers or someone who prefers lighter styles.
