Coopers Best Extra Stout is a black stout with a fine chocolate head. The aroma is roasted with notes of chocolate and great malts. The flavor is dominated by the roasted malts with sweet coffee and chocolate. The finish is very nice and ligth without becomming watery or loosing flavor.

Sep 1, 2008 375ml bottle, bought at GBBF and enjoyed on a hotel room in Earls Court. Plain, black body under a noisy, beige foam. Smell of roasted malts. Dark malty profile balanced by a touch of tartness. Rather abrupt finish. Soapy mouthfeel (06.08.2008).

Aug 31, 2008 Bottle from Oddbins. Black, and I mean VERY black, with thin tan head. Wine-alcohol aroma with lots of roast malt and treacle/molasses. Immediate hit of bitter, dark malt on the tongue that gives way to a very pleasant dry/hop finish. Excellent balance of carbonation and smoothness. This is possibly my favourite Aussie beer. Top notch.

Aug 31, 2008 12.7 oz bottle served in tumbler- poured heavily used tractor oil black, light carbonation, creamy one finger tan head formed, some lacing on the side of the glass, and tried to steal my dog. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, heavy whipping cream, and general overall good beerness. Hits the mouth with a wdie body, malt is highly pleasing, a little cream in the middle, finish is a mix of coffee, hops, and bitterness. Underrated.
