Drinkers Review:

Coopers selection of brews are as good as they get and I love a good stout so couldn't go past reviewing this one! It's a good classic stout from a tried and trusted brewer. It has good strong flavors, a good flavor transition but is in the middle as far as drinkability. I'd take this over a guiness or an O'sheas but it doesn't quite get there and beat a good Cascade Export Stout for me. It's a little more watery and bitter than a Cascade Stout for my liking but is worth drinking from a lovely glass on a cold winter's day! Give it a try though, it's well worth the effort if you like your darker brews.
