2012 Coopers Vintage, by Michael Maher

I have recently tried the 2012 Cooper's Vintage Strong Ale and boy o boy do those lads know how to make beer. The latest creation is a truly great beer and somewhat different to previous vintages. It has less of the soft caramel and nutty flavours of previous years and a lot more hops.  Cooper's yeast and malt flavours are still there in abundance and the balance, especially when the beer has warmed up for some time, is great. Still Australia's best beer!!!!!

The only downer is the bottle size (335mls) which is an absolute tragedy.
