I did an RIS with some oak in the secondary. One of the best/most interesting beers I've ever made.
Took 2 years to combine all the flavours though.

Hey all,
The Cooper's Dark Ale is a seriously nice drop. Not pimped up just a stock can & kilo. Thinner than a Cooper's Pale ale but some good balanced tastes and mouth feel about it.
If your looking for a early winter drop with a bit more flavour well recommend this one and bloody cheap as it's in the original can series...
