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.

Bottle. Pours cloudy cola brown with a thin fizzy beige head. Aroma is light caramel malt and roasted malt with a touch of fruit. Medium body. Flavor is roasted malt and nutty, also a bit of semi-sweet chocolate. Ok, but pretty weak.

A Mes rate: bottle from Kris Wines.
Dark brown coloured with a thin beige head. Sweet malty aroma with a fair bit of caramel and some faint dusty hops. Tangy malt and fizzy almost alka seltzer flavour. Toffee and nutty in the finish. A little too thin and the flavour fall away a bit because of it. Drinkable but not something I would rave over.

Not very much flavor. I would waist the calories again for this beer. It seems I like their other brews better.

Dark pour. Un-impressive head but nice lacing. Dark and cloudy,full of floating shit. Nose is of malt and sweet pepper. Taste is slightly roasted and buttery. Warm woody finish. Good beer.

Is this a stout or is it an ale, it seems to be both at the same time. It’s roasty toasty and yet clean. It’s dark brown in color. It’s flavor is roasty and flavor packed with malt and honey. It has a satisfying finish. I would like this on a cold day.

cazort (456) - Newark, Delaware, USA - MAR 23, 2008
(Bottle) Very grainy tasting, coarse, somewhat sour. A little bitterness, and to its credit, not much sweetness. Thin, however. Not the best beer, but perfectly drinkable. A richer body would make this beer much more enjoyable.
