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.

A brown beer with a disappearing light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and prunes, but also hints of dust. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of nuts, leading to a dry end, over a thin body.
