Coopers Best Extra Stout

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

Bottle. Black with a thin head. Thick and rich stout with full flavors of coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Very well-balanced and highly drinkable with a rich body. Nice.

Bottle from Premier Gourmet. Pours a pitch black opaque body with a thin dark dark head fading to a ring. Aroma is full of roasted malts, coffee beans, and slight chocolate notes. Dry,full bodied. This reminds me of taking a sip of cold black espresso. Very bitter long lasting flavor with some faint sweet notes. Full of smoke, burnt, coffee. Pretty nice beer.

Poured very black, roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, little dark fruits, slight licorice.

12.7 ounce bottle - $1.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. Best After: 12.06.07. Appearance: Pours a humble black body with a inch-high head of tan-colored froth. Smell: Deeply roasted barley malts with notes of half-day-old French Roast coffee and baker’s chocolate. Certainly a notable, distinct wafts of fruit esters in there as well. Taste: Darkened barley with tastes of coffee, chocolate, and powderized toasted bread crusts. Yes, even powderized toasted bread crusts. Medium-low sweetness. Moderate amount of yeast-derived fruitiness. Minimal hop character with most of the bitterness seemingly provided by the burnt grains. Finishes fairly dry and roasty with an enduring taste of unsweetened chocolate-covered fruits. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Fairly smooth mouthfeel. Drinkability: Worth a try. By no means a bad lil’ robust stout, and probably one of the better brews I’ve had from the Coopers Brewery over these many long years.

Bottle 375 ml. Very good stout, full of flavour. The aroma has coffee, chocolate, and raisins. Flavour is long-lasting, with a nice bitterness that dominates over the sweet start. It feels oily in the palate, and medium-bodied. Black in colour, with yeast residue, the head is white, frothy, and long-lasting.

Pours black with a fully receding tan head. Notes of roast, brown sugar, mild coffee and candy esters. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. I expected something with a bit more body.

Lots of flavors and complexity to enjoy. A little thin for an extra stout. along with no head.

Ottima stout, si presenta con una schiuma aderente con bolle medio/piccole. Profumo elegante, in bocca si notano lnote di cacao e tostatura ed un finale leggermente liquirizioso.
