Pour is a very dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma has some nuts and caramel. Flavor is about the same. Some nuttyness with caramel and throw in some chocolate at the end. Adequate for a brown ale.

Bottle. Pour is dark brown. Small tan head that disappears pretty quickly. Aromas of coffee, dark fruits and roasted malts. Some sweetness and perhaps some yeast aromas. Flavours are dominated by roasted malts, though there is a little coffee ans some yeast. Initially flavours are quite sweet with some hop bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Overall not a bad beer with reasonable balance.

Bottle 375ml. Good taste, but mouthfeel is watery. Aroma has dark fruit, raisins, coffee, and also yeast. Flavour is sweet, with a bitter finish, not long-lasting. It feels watery in the mouth, the finish is dry, and has high carbonation. Dark brown in colour, the white head doesn’t last, and it’s cloudy from the yeast residue.

Decent as most coopers are but a bit boring like most coopers are. Has the familar coopers taste, in a dark ale. Nothing more nothing less.

Dark copper pour, small head that fades quickly. Aroma is very weak. There’s some toasty, nutty, chocolate notes and some very faint hops. Flavours are much better, lots of roasted malt with some nutty notes. Light roasty bitterness. Slightly watery, high carbonation.

Bottle - Pours very dark with a tan head. Caramel malt aroma. Most of the flavour come through in the aftertaste, Caramel malt with a hint of chocolate. Finishes mildly bitter, very well balanced.

Had this one during my holiday in Australia april/may 2009. Black colored brew. Malty, coffee, watery bitterness.

Draught. Pours nut brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of nuts, caramel and chocolate. The flavour is nutty, caramel and chocolate. Thin-medium bodied and sweet, malty finish. It’s not bold by any means but still OK.
