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.

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.

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...

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.
