Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Pours a dark black color with a small but frothy head. Aroma is very roasted and ends smoky, hints of black coffee shine through the nose. Flavor is dry and bitter, not very sweet. Finishes dry but coats slightly creamy. Overall this was a good stout and had all the flavors a stout should but just no complexities to speak of.
Overated for Coopers and I love coopers beers. Coffee/chocolate flavours which is well balanced. Had a off paper flavour which was lingering.
The name really says it all, best extra stout. Great stout with full flavour and yet still easy drinking. Nothing missing here at all.
