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.

Pours dark brown with a smooth tan head. Roasty chocolate aroma with a bit of sticky molasses character. Nice beer that seems more of a porter.

thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 21, 2007
Bottle. Dark brown colour, good offwhite head. Burnt and sweet malts aroma. Flavours are quite sweet with modest coffee notes. Soft.Does not go down in the history books.

Very dark and hazy appearances. Very little aroma. Taste is rather weak for a dark ale. Some carbination.

littlecarp (135) - Redding, California, USA - MAR 27, 2007
Sweet aroma, but bland taste. develops into a burnt finish, but otherwise not noteworthy. easy to drink, but that’s all.

fuyajo (229) - Portland, Oregon, USA - MAR 21, 2007
Pours to a watery-brown color with lots-o-sediment. Smells, good with sweet carmel notes. Mouthfeel is thin; tastes like you’d expect dark Budwieser to taste. Not much there.

biznizness (1047) - Mooresville, North Carolina, USA - MAR 9, 2007
This is basically like... dirty water. Very little to offer in the realm of flavor. Definitely pass on this one.

Ibrew2or3 (4699) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - JAN 21, 2007
Poured out of 12.7 oz bottle murky brown with tan head and lacing. The aroma seems a tad off since I can smell some metal coming from a beer bottled in glass and served in glass. There were also light aromatic notes of roasted to burnt malts. The flavor comes across as coffee, black patent malts and chocolate. The body seems somewhat watery.

bluekuma (94) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 17, 2007
Bottle. Pours brown with slight beige head & some sediment. Some dark berries in the aroma. Overall, a light-bodied easy-drinker of restrained maltiness & dry finish.
