IanM28 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Hi - not normally a stout drinker but in a desire to try something different I purchased a carton of Coppers best extra stout. I normally drink mid strength and this is about double the alcohol but it is a very enjoyable beer if you just stick to one or 2 (or maybe 3). One of the best beers I have ever tried off the shelf. Very nice - you will not be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdij1525228982 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It's a fine drop to brew too: here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzz Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So, I ducked up the shops for some milk, side-stepped into the bottle shop and bought my self a longneck of Coopers Best Extra Stout. It's black. Its very tasty. It's smoooooth. Has tastes of chocolate, coffee, roastedness, malty, even some hoppiness in there. The alcohol is hidden in there somewhere, can't taste it. Makes you want to to drink it with some quality, rich food. YUM Guzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzz Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Just reading up on the Coppers Best Extra Stout, I came across this, which I found interesting... "After the fermentation, a special technique of natural conditioning the same strain of yeast used for the primary fermentation is used and added to the beer prior to it being packed into bottles or kegs using state of the art equipment. A secondary fermentation and natural conditioning is then carried out in the package in such a way that the yeast is maintained in a healthy state during this second fermentation. " Never heard of this method, does it suggest that the primary fermentation is long and that there is not enough yeast to secondary ferment ? Or maybe that it's filtered between primary and secondary fermentaion ? Or some other reason ? Or am I just pi$$ed ? Anyways, just found that interesting.

Hairy Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think it is filtered to help clarify the beer and it is then re-seeded with fresh yeast. Awesome beer by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 All of our naturally conditioned ales go through the centrifuge rather than the filter. Then seeded with re-vitalised yeast at the rate of 1 million cells per ml and primed with liquid sugar for consistency of sediment and carbonation levels.

Beerlust Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi Paul. All of our naturally conditioned ales go through the centrifuge rather than the filter.Then seeded with re-vitalised yeast at the rate of 1 million cells per ml and primed with liquid sugar for consistency of sediment and carbonation levels. This I've got to see. Are you still involved with the brewery tours Paul? Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 It's spin... Rarely host tours these days. Only when filling in for Frank or some other contingency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaticSoup Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi guys, I purchased a few longnecks of the Sheaf Stout last night. Although I did quite enjoy them, still no stout has pushed cooper's out of my number 1 spot. Just can't seem to top that depth of flavour of a cooper's stout. Also worth noting they were twist tops on tallies with "no refill" embossed on the bottle, a bit of a disappointment for a home brewer! Have a nice day all.

PhilboBaggins Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The Southwark Old Stout is pretty decent, but still doesn't top Coopers. They really hit a winner with that recipe. They have it on tap over the road from work and it's lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 G'day beer lovers, this black beauty is worth a try by anyone that likes flavour and taste in their beer, I had not tried one for a long time and recently got a few, in tallies of course, this made me get a few more and that gave me the impetus to sing Coopers Best Extra Stouts praises to my mate that lives down south. My mate works in a bottle shop and like me hadn't had a stout in a long time, well he is now an active zealot for The Stout an has been subtlety converting drinkers of those other stout drinks to The Stout made by Coopers, this has given rise to stock order to be increased and better turnover of The Stout, this equates to happy stout drinkers in his area. Now one thing that must be said many may not consider stout a summer beer and I myself prefer it when the weather is a bit cooler, that said if the beer is not ice cold, you know straight out of the fridge and it is around the 10-14 degrees C in the glass, then fuller flavour is very evident. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
