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.

This is a beautiful beer that suffers from occasional bad batches, 1 in 30. eh aussie porter? light ruby depth, virginian tobacco and sharp dark chocolate. Definately improves with age, (there all green here!) The more I drink it, the better it gets. If you have to deal with devil for this, that’s OK sell you soul, reasonable value there. Belle...magnifico..mmm...delicious

I have to agree with JHills. This dark ale doesn't have any harsh , Full flavored bad tastes. It Reminds me of the German Dunkle style. Clean and Crisp. The Aroma is ver natural with no chemical overtones. Very natural. Strong Recommend!!!

this is refreshing and clean tasting for brown ale. it doesn’t have the same burnt taste that some have, and it blends a very mild sweetness with a nice flavour and slight bitterness.
