Coopers Best Extra Stout

Brewed by Coopers Brewery
Style: Foreign Stout
Regency Park, South Australia, Australia

Bottle. Poured deep brown with thick tan head, rather too thick actually. Orama of malt,sugar and toast. Bittersweet chocolate, malt and dry fruit notes, Finish is bittered, a little salt and some oyster sauce. Texture is just right.

Dark black beer, with lots of suspended brown sediment throughout the column. Very unusual, kinda like their sparkling ale. The head pours a half inch but dissipates in a minute. Smells like bitter, pale malts, sweet roasted barely, sugar, sweet fruit, and chocolate. Taste has sweet, medium dark fruit notes, dry fruit, cocoa, and sugar. No lacing. Body is medium, bordering on thick. Finish resembles dark fruit, plum or cheryr perhaps. This is an unsuspecting beer, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle. Pours a black colour with a brownish head. Aroma is a bit smoky - made me think of smoked ham - with some tar and coffee. There is also a quite obvious note of nail polish. Flavour is a bit smoky and roasted with notes of coffee, raw sugar snaps and some nail polish. The finish is roasted and a bit woody with some bitterness.

bottle with the aussies at work. Smells of banana, coffee and caramel. Darkest dull brown in colour, quickly dissappearing beige head. Nice malty flavour, oat cookies and ripe bananas. nice bitter finish.

Big creamy head, disappearing in a few minutes. Heavy aroma of coffee, burnt sugar and smoke. Flavor like a classical stout with low carbonation.

Pitch black with a small but lasting creamy brown head. Coffee, chocolate, caramel, and brown sugar aroma. Tasty flavor, toasted, slightly sweet, with chocolate and coffee as well. Medium body, thin, it gets more bitter as you drink. Bitter / coffee aftertaste. Excellent.

This beer is a nice deep black colour with a giant foamy tan head. Aromas of peanut butter sandwich and reeses pieces. meidum bodied, very light in the taste and overall pleasent and easy to drink.

I had this add a Friday afternoon company mixer. This means I was drinking it straight from the bottle, so I really couldn’t judge appearance and the aroma would likely be a point or two higher if I was able to drink it from a glass. Still, a nice stout with that familiar coffee-caramel taste. I woul ddefinitely like to try this again.
