Coopers Best Extra Stout

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

Pour jet black with a pretty decent brown head. Dark chocolate and espresso on the nose with some chalk, sweet fruitiness (and bananas???) and liquorice in the background. Big rich flavour: huge roasted malt presence, almost burnt, with some sweet alcohol hidden underneath. Finishes with a strong unbalanced roasted bitterness. Big rich creamy body, some alcoholic heat. A very ashy, full-on stout

Bottle. Sweet mocha and roast nose, chocolate and earthy malt. Pitch pour with a quick, tiny-bubbled light brown head. Very ashy, tarry roast taste, very dry watery body. Chocolate, malt, strong coffee aftertaste. Strong carbonation with light carbonation. A great surprise!

Bottle. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee and some chocolate. Flavoris dark roasted malts sweet chocolate and has a bit of toffee with a roasty and bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours with a large frothy dark diminishing head over a black opaque body. A Prominant aroma of blackberry bubble gum-tar jumps out of the glass. Has a taste of burnt blackberry and caskwood and finishes with a pronounced burnt bitterness. Nice.

375ml bottle - deep inky black pour. Deep roasted flavor with black licorice and a really bitter ashy (think burnt walnuts) finish. Solid effort.

. God damn, a motor oil type of stout. Aint elegant ,its grimey and flavoursome , with its oily roast malt profile and strange , misplaced pressence of bananas poping out of the glass @ you with enthusiasm. I’d sink this often if I had eazy access to it, but I don’t & I can drink the king of Export/Foreign/Stout ,Lion Stout from Sri Lanka anytime , so who cares ?.

roasted roasty black malty brew with a touch of licorice in far away cocoa this beer is a bit light in body for the style not at all creamy but rather slickish watery and refreshing. makes sense due to the opposite climes of these familiar peoples. This brew is never the less traditional and yet demonstrative. bit of a soul at the end of each drink which i find the definitive descriptive needed to be considered a really good stout. appropriate alcohol. quite nice. nose of soy sauce.

Pours black with a dark tan head and big particles. Faint aroma, mostly burnt coffee. Sweet flavor, somewhat chocolate flavor, a little coffee. Not a bad representation of the style, but not very interesting either.
