Bottle shared at Cotteridge convention 05/03/2016. Many thanks to MacBoost and team. A pale yellow liquid with a fine white head. Aromais worty, sugar liquid, papery, spicy pepper. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, thin malts, powdery, grainy, gababe. Palate is thin, dry, chalky, papery. Meh, bad.

This one is for the brothers who couldn’t be here with us. If you going to do a 40 you might as well do it right and this is it. Comes in a clear plastic bottle ( I liked the glass better), I unscrew the top, stick it in a brown bag and drink it that way. Color? Yellow. Head? You’ve got to be kidding. And I don’t smell it, I drink it. The taste has always been decent. Corn, doughy sort of and an interesting sweetish finish. Sometimes it isn’t the destination, it is the journey. Yeah, it pisses me off that when you do a rerate, RB makes you go to the back of the line time wise. So I’m giving up my 4/27/17 original date but what the hell. Things have changed. 8 Ball now is in a 42 oz bottle and sports a 7.5% abv. That means an approximate 25% increase in potency from my first rating while it retains easily the best taste of the big bottle malt liquors. Kick up the rating now and I’m happy about it in this long, hot summer of discontent.

Plastic bottle in New Orleans motel room. Pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma of pear, grain and alcohol. Light-bodied, watery. Pear, green apple in the flavor. No malts or hops found.

32-ounce container. Pours surprisingly light and sparkly. Babycham-esque. Toasty grainy scent. Not much. Taste also not much. Sweet and not too offensive but quite artificial. Weirdly astringent taste in the finish. Necco wafers and eggy bread in the aftertaste. Not impossibly awful but fairly pitiful.

Bottle split at CCii, thanks to Bootsy, Sraky and RTV in some form of triste, 05/03/16. Pale golden blonde with a moderate off white covering. Nose is straw, grain, paper, cereals. Taste comprises light caramel wafer, grain, straw, pale malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so affair ... wat is the point of a Malt Licker without the boost?

Cotteridge 2 tasting. Clear gold. Lasting white head. terrible cereal aroma. It’s got that European strong lager flavour. Malty syrup. Not terrible.
