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.

hawthorne00 (1307) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - MAY 15, 2010
Bottle, 16C. Murky dark brown with a brief beige head. Mild aroma has light caramel and chocolate, prunes and dark berries. A little yeast and carbonation can’t quite disguise the pretty watery texture. Tastes of chocolate and cola. Finish has some dryness but virtually no bitterness. There’s also little of the usual Cooper’s sourness. But it does retain the usual Cooper’s feel of being real beer.
