Commercial Description:
The flavour lies somewhere between our Sparkling Ale and Stout but the texture and appearance is less syrupy and cleaner. Coopers Dark Ale is top fermented in the traditional manner. A combination of dark and medium-roasted malt produces this rich, flavoursome brew that's especially satisfying in nippy weather.

My first beer from Australia. Pretty malty in the aroma/flavor, although not much else. Some hints of toffee, but mainly malt. Body is smooth, if not a bit thin. Overall not bad, but nothing really stands out...would probably not get this again.

375ml bottle.Dark ruby in colour with a large rocky tan and cream head which was thick to look at. Aroma of toffee and burnt malt with a hint of coffee and chocolate. Zingy in the mouth with a lingering flavour of burnt toffee. Could drink several of these.

Appearance: Pours a clear, deep, dark brown body with a very wispy, white head. Smell: Humble aroma of dark fruits and slightly caramel-scented and bready malt notes. Taste: Toasted bready malts and dark caramel, though with only a mild sweetness. Touch of dark fruitiness, mainly plums. Mild hop character and bitterness. Drying finish with one last hint of fruit. Grows increasingly watery in the latter half, it’s good that it finishes when it does. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Most of the Coopers have been poopers, but this Dark Ale, well, it’s downright acceptable.

...bottle. Smooth, dark ale with a nice malty flavor, and a good mouthfeel. The bottle conditioning always makes things better, good job Coopers.

An interesting brown ale. Pours brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malt. Thin and too heavily carbonated. Metallic. I didn’t really enjoy it. Watery.
