Sep 3, 2009 Dark copper pour, small head that fades quickly.
Aroma is very weak. There’s some toasty, nutty, chocolate notes and some very faint hops.
Flavours are much better, lots of roasted malt with some nutty notes. Light roasty bitterness.
Slightly watery, high carbonation.

Jun 20, 2009 Draught. Pours nut brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of nuts, caramel and chocolate. The flavour is nutty, caramel and chocolate. Thin-medium bodied and sweet, malty finish. It’s not bold by any means but still OK.

Jun 1, 2009 Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. I agree with alepigg below, on the initial taste of this, however, loads of roasted barley comes into play soon after. Maltiness also very evident, but balanced out later by some good bitterness. Blackcurrant and cherry are the prominent fruit flavours on the tongue and there’s a hint of smoke in the aftertaste, rounding things off nicely.

May 30, 2009 Sampled in Adelaide. A very quality brew, probably the second best that they have. A good sipping brew.Pours dark brown with a little head. Best served cold and goes well with a nice dinner.

May 29, 2009 The first sip of this is kind of off putting, neither stout nor ale and a peanut sort of undertone that made me feel queasy. Thankfully the latter disappeared, and I started to really enjoy it’s roasted chestnut and caramel sort of flavour. Robust like all Coopers beers, and EXCELLENT on a cold night. Not as high quality as Coopers Best Extra Stout, but gains ground back by it’s easier drinkability, I’d take this over the Extra Stout on a night out anyday. Coopers continue to piss over all other Australian commercial brews with this one!
