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.

Dark pour. Un-impressive head but nice lacing. Dark and cloudy,full of floating shit. Nose is of malt and sweet pepper. Taste is slightly roasted and buttery. Warm woody finish. Good beer.

This black ale poured with a decent tan head. There is a thin nutty chocolate malt flavor, very watery.

Bottle. Milk chocolate, very malty, light sour. Small off-white creamy head, normal long lasting, black sparkling body. Light acidic and bitter taste, rather short duration. Rather light body, dry and watery texture, lively carbonation.

Bottle from World Market in Davis, CA. Poured a brown. Typical nutty taste, but not much flavor was there. Thin-bodied beer that left much to be desired. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t very good either.

This brew seemed like a dark lager, but I didn’t see the brown ale there. It was a good brew at the end of a long night, but I couldn’t taste much at that point.

2008 Bottle - Dk brown (go figure) with little head...toasted malt aroma, little else, flavour is pretty bland, subtle bitterness, subtle grain, slight toast, very meh, but I still kinda liked it, all the Coopers brews I’ve had would be nice and quenching in the hot australian sun, and consider the alternative (F word), ugh...
