Coopers Brewery Dark Ale
(13/20)
Andy, Brian, Adam and Jim on Feb 23.08

An Australian beer, presenting 12.7 fl oz of dark beer from down under. The label looks like shit, but we have heard good things.

Appearance: Yet another dark, limited head. We have to note that the label on the bottle is fucking awful.

Aroma: Smells sweet, but the alcohol is pretty apparent. Almost wine-like?!

Taste: Dark, but it reminds us heavily of wine which could be a pro/con. Brian/Jim: “I thought it would have more flavor. Not much of a bite, which is a good thing I guess” Very light on the aftertaste, nice! Appealing, well rounded flavor. Jim: “Goes down easy, smooth…haha you could pound it” Surprisingly light for a dark beer. Brian: “I feel like I need to smell it every time because its so wine-like.” Adam: “Lots of fruit, not a sweet fruit taste though. Not much head, real smooth beer though. I feel like someone spiked my beer with table wine.”

Alcohol %: 4.5

Drink One or All Six?: If you are in a wine/fruit mood, 3 or 4 (the smooth flavor is appealing). Otherwise one.

Cost: $8 / 6 pack

Overall: Andy 6.5 / 10, Jim 7.4 / 10, Adam 7 / 10, Brian 6 / 10

yeah…the bottle made me think it was going to be this rich dark something-or-other. instead it got all fruity – kevin-like if you will – on me…
