Coopers Dark Ale

Brewed by Coopers Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Regency Park, South Australia, Australia

Serve in Dimpled mug

Pour is a very dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma has some nuts and caramel. Flavor is about the same. Some nuttyness with caramel and throw in some chocolate at the end. Adequate for a brown ale.

I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Kind of like Tooheys Old, but not as sweet and a little more roasty. Nice enough dark ale

Uncomplicated brown ale with hints of coffee and bitter flavours. Barely any carbonation.

poured dark brown with beige head and light lacing, a good degree of maltiness, but could use a little more bitterness, but overall an easier drinking dark ale.

Bottle. Poured with a medium, frothy & fading but regenerative tan head atop a dark brown body. Slightly choccy on the nose with biscuity and roasted malt tones. Biscuity, bready malts. A bit hollow on the mid palate & slightly grainy. A delicate roasty bitterness to finish. Light to medium body, fair carbonation with a lingering sweet malt aftertaste.

Not a bad beer. Not a big fan of dark ales but this one goes down pretty easy. Nice mixture of flavours and a strong finish.

Bottle from Kris Wines. Pours black with reddish tinge. Aroma is nice. At first it’s fruity: orange, dried fruit. Then roasted flavours coming through and chocolate and coffee. Taste is disappointing though. It’s too carbonated, bit thin in the mouth and lacking body. More of a swartzbier than stout or porter. Not a lot of flavour coming through, although slightly too chilled. On the finish it’s roasted flavours, again lots of fizz. Bit watery.

bottle. dark brown. light head. surprisingly smooth. i thought it would be a little more bitter but not the case. very drinkable.
