Coopers Vintage Ale

Sun Jun 26, 2005 1:49 pm

12 oz. brown, stubbie, twist off bottle. I hate twist offs. Batch No.4 OCT 2002. Past it’s prime. Barely a sound as I pried off the crown. Poured out a hazy, cloudy, caramel color, with a fast fading white head. Aromas are of malts past their prime, yeast, and caramel. Tastes are the same as the smells. I had to choke it down to get a taste of it. Not the best Strong Ale I ever had, that much is certain. A drain pour if ever there was one.

Obviosly a dated example . This beer is usually enjoyable if not exactly amasing. By the way you should know that all Aussy beers are twist offs, so if you want to taste Aussy beers get used to it. We can always tell an aussy in these parts as he will pick up a bottle and attempt to man handle the cap off.
