Bottle. Milk chocolate, very malty, light sour. Small off-white creamy head, normal long lasting, black sparkling body. Light acidic and bitter taste, rather short duration. Rather light body, dry and watery texture, lively carbonation.

Bottle from World Market in Davis, CA. Poured a brown. Typical nutty taste, but not much flavor was there. Thin-bodied beer that left much to be desired. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t very good either.

This brew seemed like a dark lager, but I didn’t see the brown ale there. It was a good brew at the end of a long night, but I couldn’t taste much at that point.

2008 Bottle - Dk brown (go figure) with little head...toasted malt aroma, little else, flavour is pretty bland, subtle bitterness, subtle grain, slight toast, very meh, but I still kinda liked it, all the Coopers brews I’ve had would be nice and quenching in the hot australian sun, and consider the alternative (F word), ugh...

12oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a very thin, crisp off-white head. Smells dark and malty with hints of sweet molasses. Tastes dark and malty a little bitter up front with a dark sweetness on the finish. Thin mouthfeel with somewhat crisp carbonation.

12.7oz bottle: Pours flat with no head. Dark brown with floating particles galore. Slight sweet, roasted nut aroma. Roasted malty flavor with a hint of mild cocoa. Dry finish. Taste is a little thin and watered down but still a decent offering.

Dark brown beer with a faint off white head. Aroma is sweet and roasty and a similar but watered down flavour, nice but could do with a kick up the ass !

There is no head on this dark brown pour, but it is pretty fizzy. I like Cooper’s no-nonsense circular labels. A good quality malty-floral aroma. It seems like a hoppier than average brown ale, and it has a bold malt presence. Light-bodied and more dry than sweet. A solid brew.
