beer_name: Coopers Best Extra Stout
text: Pours as black as night with a thin bubbly head that recedes to a rim of lace and holds there. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, and charcoal. Rich taste. Espresso, a burnt graininess. The graininess is most prominate in the middle and then it kind of fades away to a rich roasted and mild fruit finish. Long roasted aftertaste. IMHO the mouthfeel doesn't fit the style or the flavor of the beer. Lighter in body than I expected with lot's of bubbly carbonation. Overall this is a damn fine beer that shines in the most important category...taste! I'd recommend you pick this one up when you see it.
