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.

Nut brown colour. Malty, nutty aroma. Body is thin, with a vague nuttiness and a metallic finish. Drinkable, but weak.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 14, 2005
Dark brown, tan head that faded fast, no lace. Not much for aroma, maybe a little roasted malt. Straightforward bitter-toffee roasted malt palate, but no real character (maybe its because I had mine from the bottle, but I didn’t find a hint of chocolate). The carbonation makes it feel a little thin bodied. Not bad, just not much character.

Very weak effort. What does this beer want to be? To much carbonation, and not ’nuff flavor!

Not a bad dark, but I prefer Guiness. This pours and fizzes like a soda instead of a nice thick dark..

Cornfield (5240) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - JUN 16, 2005
This is a very drinkable brew. Mahogany with reddish highlights and a brief-lived bubbly tan head, it’s got a chocolatey, light roasted malt aroma. Nicely carbonated, the aroma is repeated in the flavor, and it slides down real easily. A simple, satisfying brown ale.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - JUN 10, 2005
Draught at Transport Hotel, Melbourne. Hazy nut brown. Smooth and really chocolatey, fairly light bodied. Easy going. Low bitterness.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - JUN 4, 2005
Bottled. Black opaque, small brown bubbly head. Toffeish, a bit roasted aroma. Toffeeish malty flavour with hints of roasted malt and honey. Finish is hoppy and semi-bitter. Rich carbonation.
