Coopers Special Old Stout

Formerly brewed at Coopers Brewery
Style: Foreign Stout
Regency Park, South Australia, Australia

Dark black. Roasty aroma with a hint of menthol(!) and licorice. Medium to full bodied, rather sweet and only mildly bitter finish.

Bottled. Black opaque with small brown foamy head. Strong aroma of licorace, roast and alcohol. Smooth roasted, toffeeish and licoracy flavour with burnt wood in aftertaste. Nice!

No#70. Im at number 70 already wtf. Aroma is burtn malt with dark fruity notes kickin in and coffee too. Taste is very similar though thin, with a fizzier palate than what i wanted.

A bit smoother, creamier and sweeter than the regular stout, not as much bite, the regular best extra stout is better.

No head (left); nearly black beer with some red highlights. Burnt malts, burnt liquorice, burnt-sweet taste, does that exist? Liquorice, moccha, faint cigarette ash and a discreet, but (dark sugar) syrupy sweetness. Slick & syrupy, well bodied. Chocolate in the aftertaste. I had expected MUCH more from this. 6 months didn’t do it much good. Mind you, it was not served in ideal circumstances, but all the same. Thanks to the Londoner Aussies for bringing this rare bird!

Black currant, coffee, plum. Fruity aroma. Black color, brown head, good lace. Light sweet, coffee, light roasted, bitter. Thinner than expected but overall very good.

rich and with a kick to it. maybe not as good as extra stout because it comes in a smaller bottle

(Bottled@Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Very dark brown color with a small, beige head. Very roasty and licoricey, slightly alcoholic aroma. Burned-malty, slightly sweet flavor with licorice hints. Medium to full-bodied, milky and smooth-carbonated palate. A very smooth, full and enjoyable stout.
