Todays post looks at the most Metal ball in the aforementioned game, the 8 Ball. With it's black color, it's anti-social status amongst the ranks of the other balls from pool, it deserves its place in the Halls of Metal, and the best way to celebrate the 8 Ball is the only way Metal fans celebrate everything else, with beer.
Introducing Eureka, California's Lost Coast Brewery 8 Ball Stout.
The beverage claims to be a Oatmeal Stout, although for some reason I can't taste it. However, the taste it does have is a very clean Irish style stout.
At 6.3% Alcohol content, it's not a heavy hitter, but it definitely is not a weakling either, something along the lines of a middleweight boozer.
The smell seems to be lacking anything heavy, but it is on the "okay" side of things with it's light chocolate aroma. Don't let the dark tone fool you, it's a smooth Stout.
The beer has some potential and while it may not be the best Stout in the market, it definitely has a oxymoron approach and a definite change in pace for those who are either on the clean side or dirty side of beers. Plus it's paying tribute to a Metal ball so that is a credential on it's side. Definitely recommended.
