3.5 Bottle. Dark brown with normal whitehead level. Aroma of chocolate hint of cola. Taste chocolate forward, coffee, some sourness hint of raisin amd grapefruits, moderate bitterness, toasty finish. After let beer sit for awhile, the chocolate notes was even more forward and more sweet. In my opinion, i didn’t enjoy the first sip but after awhile the chocolate notes became more enjoyable.
4.0 Aroma: Medium-high roasty, Medium plum, cherry, chocolate Appearance: Clear, dark brown body. Small, light-brown head. Fine bubbles. Low retention. Flavour: Medium-high roasty. Medium bitterness. Medium coffee, Dry finish, coffee, roasty. Mouthfeel: Medium body. Medium carbonation, creamy. Overall: Good roasty notes. A bit more body would be nice. 750 ml bottle, poured.
3.5 Aroma : Roasted dark malts which just hint at chocolate and coffee. Light burnt oak smoke note, with an undertone of dark red friut and some earthy hop. Taste : Is mostly dry roasty dark malts. The more subtle notes from the aroma seem to be lost in that roastiness. Nice thick body and still better than average though
5.0 Extra stout de 6,3 % abv, en format 37,5 cl (merci l'Australie …). Mon exemplaire était juste à 1 an après sa date. Couleur noir d'encre, à l'opacité très forte. Mousse brun clair, en nappage de surface et couronne à la paroi. Arômes de café, chocolat noir, ganache, pointe de fumée. 1ère bouche souple, à la belle entame malt choco/café/fumée. Arrière-bouche qui développe la pointe fumée jusqu'à une science qui pourrait préoccuper les fumeurs de pipe (pour leur compétence ..). 2ème bouche avec une parfaite association café/tabac/fumée. Arrière-bouche qui revient au chocolat pour le parfumer de fumée … (ce qui est mieux que le chocolater de choco … c'est trop gras) Longueur qui est comme une étude approfondie de ce que l'on peut faire avec un extra stout, pour autant qu'il soit foreign … ce qui n'est pas attribué à tout le monde (n'est pas foreign qui veut …) On y trouve maintenant noisettes grillées et amandes fraîches, en complément à la structure torréfiée. Jambes fines, serrées, très longues. Levure boisée, tabagique, belle ligne. Alcool remarquable pour son niveau, il ne laisse pas le kangourou faire des pirouettes inconsidérées .. Finale strictement stoutesque .. différente de la longueur. CONCLUSION : voilà un stout extra qui mérite parfaitement son qualificatif de best, auto-attribué par le brasseur, mais qui est tout à fait mérité … (il a dû l'attribuer d'ailleurs, très probablement, dans le même sens que les " best " bitter … on lui pardonne donc cela ...) Moi, ce qui me plaît, c'est qu'il est réalisé sans préservatif … (music pairing : zoahr, avec l'album " off axis " de 2019, simply great ..)
3.6 Surprisingly pretty awesome at it's price point. Strong body with a coffee taste. A great drink and the bottle looks nice too.

3.9 Black in the glass, medium carbonation, one finger creamy head. Smell of coffee, roasted malt, plums, blueberries and a bit of alcohol.

5.0 This is the best tasting stout ever!! You must let the stout sit for a while after pouring to let it oxygenate in order to get the proper taste.It needs to be in more stores because it is very difficult to find. I have been telling friends about Coopers for more then 10 years!!!
5.0 Chocolatey flavour with the most beautiful head and lovely smell and lovely finish.
2.0 Black in colour, pours thick. A little confused as to what the "extra" in the title is referring to, because this is mostly tasteless. Won't bother with another taste.
3.7 Bottle. A- Molasses, slightly sweet, mild dark fruits. A- Black color, black liquid, tan head. T- Cocoa, slightly milky, dark fruits, roasty. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Bottled said best after Dec. 2017. So here we are 18 months later. Started off a bit more fruity while cold and become much more roasty and slightly dry as it warmed. Not bad. Pretty solid all around.

4.1 Roasted black malt with taste of chocolate bitter alcohol after taste as well as the aroma. Medium white head.
2.6 Pours an almost black colour with a tan head. The aroma is of roasted malt and the taste is similar with a hint of toffee and caramel. There is moderate bitterness that is medium-lasting on the palate. Overall a reasonable stout, but nothing outstanding.

Amazing beer for its price. I love this and buy it as often as I can. Great for those long winters nights.
3.8 I wanted to try something from Australia besides Fosters. A pretty good stout. Reminded of another foreign stout I tried from not too far from there (Lion Stout). Seemed more bitter though instead of a sweet stout, perhaps a bit on the dryer side. I thought was better quality than guiness. I would try this again, especially if traveling down under, but wouldn't really go out of my way here in the states with so many others around.
3.5 Cerveja com sabor marcante, notas de café e caramelo, amargor elevado.
3.4 Black color, tan head, aroma of chocolate, coffee and roasted malt, medium bitterness, medium body.
3.6 Bottle from Yamaya. First time in many years. Near black pour, highlights, nice lacing with glass tilts. Roasted malt aroma, anise, chocolate. Flavour shows some dark fruit underpinnings, chocolate, roasty savoury malt dominant. Nicely balanced feel with just right carbonation and bitterness in the finish, dry with some lingering bitter chocolate. I’ll be getting more.
3.7 Garrafa. Coloração preta. Espuma de boa formação e média persistência. Aroma de café fresco ensacado, aroma rústico. Sabor maltado defumado, de cacau e nuance de café. Aftertaste de chocolate meio amargo muito agradável.
