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.

Sweet aroma, but bland taste. develops into a burnt finish, but otherwise not noteworthy. easy to drink, but that’s all.

Draught. Caramal, roasted malt on the nose. Sweet malt, slightly metallic palate. A bit thin and carbonated.

A beer that improves the more you drink it. I was not in the least impressed by it on first drinking, however with later tastings it got better. Strong flavour, with good carbonation and a firm finish. Good beer for a reasonable price.

Bottle. This is a very refreshing and clean tasting for brown ale, however it seems to a bit thin and watery. 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.

This black ale poured with a decent tan head. There is a thin nutty chocolate malt flavor, very watery.

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.
