A dark brew full of promise. Coopers Dark Ale is a journey in taste, starting fresh and creamy, and finishing with a lingering coffee flavour.

Conditioned and naturally brewed using the top fermentation method, Coopers 'Dark' is made using roasted and chocolate malts, giving it a rich dark colour and unique flavour.

Bottle from Yamaya. Rich dark malt nose, fruity, apples, spicy hops, grapes. Dark brown with a lacy low head. Spicy, almost Belgian yeastiness. Chocolate, caramel, stewed fruits. Almost tastes aged. British hops flavor. Nice full body for such a low abv. Enjoyable and better than expected.

Dark brown color, very cloudy. Blackcurrant and chocolate in the aroma and flavor. Thin. Short aftertaste. Just a hint of tartness. Nice session ale.

First up is Coopers Dark Ale 4.5% A cola brown with a fizzy tan head that vanished fast. The aroma is malty caramel but also sweet corn syrup cola like. The taste is better with toasty molasses notes and a strange floral thing in the finish (hops). It tastes better than it smells but this is a bargain basement beer... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330ml bottle from Jason's Food Hall, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear medium brown colour with a fizzy, mostly lasting light tan head. The aroma is caramel malt, nutty, light woody hop. The flavour is light sweet, with a light, watery, mineral, earthy, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Way too light and watery for the style and too much carbonation too.

Bottle into glass, Coopers Alehouse, Syd Airport. Faint hop nose. Murky brown beer with film of suds. Medium body, flat mouthfeel. Surprisingly bitter for a Brown Ale. It’s alright, bit boring.
