May 16, 2005 Murky dark brown color. Fizzy white head. Toasty malt aromatics. Slightly sweet and toasty malt nose, bolder flavors of cocoa and a hint of hazelnut follow. Finish has a lingering hop spiciness that complements other lingering flavors of nuts and coffee.

May 9, 2005 Bottle: Burnt orange, hues of brown and ruby, large off-white head, foamy, clingy lacing. Very pale malty and hop aroma. Subtle hop bite, underlying toasted maltiness, albeit very soft itself. Average body and mouthfeel, although it seems to thin out a bit on the exit. Lingering toasted malts, very smooth and clean. I’d hit it again!

May 7, 2005 This is by far my favorite beer, ever. Very smooth, and flavorful. Not quit sure whats up with the picaso style label. But after a few brews, he starts look almost normal.

Apr 26, 2005 On draft at Goat Hill Tavern, Costa Mesa, CA.
Couldn’t detect any aroma. Appearance was good when first poured. Deep brown/black with a short, creamy nitro head. Head dissipated quickly but left traces of lace on the side of the glass.
A nicely balanced american brown. A bit light in flavor for my taste but pleasant. Palate was a bit fizzy and thin.

Apr 21, 2005 I had this on accident when I thought I was picking up a 6’er of 8 Ball. This is one of the better Brown ales that I’ve tasted. Of course when I was expecting 8 ball, it seemed a little thin.
