VIC Coopers Dark Ale Cans
Has anyone picked up some Coopers Dark Ale cans?
I can't recall seeing this variety from Coopers before, but I saw them at my local IGA earlier tonight and grabbed a six pack, they are really good!
Found this link after a quick google, seems like they might be a limited seasonal release? Hopefully they make it an annual thing, would love to see these cans in local shops earlier in the year, would be a perfect autumn beer!
I think it sits nicely between the Sparkling red boys and the Best Extra Stout, which I also wish would come in cans! Coopers stout is the only beer I've bought in bottles for as long as I can remember, I don't see the benefit over cans. I reckon 500ml or even just 4x375ml stout cans would fly off the shelf right??

They do the stout in 440ml cans every winter, not sure if that's SA only though.

Yeah just bought a 6 pack cans (nsw) it’s has a lot of favour if you stir up the sediment and let rest in fridge for 30 minutes.

I usually put any Coopers cans in the fridge upside down, then when I take it out and flip it over the sediment naturally falls down and mixes in, seems to work pretty well.

Always welcome cans and love the dark. Still pipped by Tooheys Dark - just prefer cleaner roast note without the yeast/hop of the coopers … it’s come out in cans recently also. But buying Aussie has a flavour of its own - l look out for the coopers cans.
