    Cooper's (yummy) Dark Ale

    It's very easy to make and tastes just as good as any commercial beer. You also have the freedom to experiment with the taste between bottles: a little extra water here a touch of vanilla there a smidge of chocolate there; then see which you like best. In addition to being very economical I get to brag I made this myself.

    Great dark ale

    This was a 6-gallon kit and was extremely easy and is a very good dark ale. Give it an extra week to finish it definitely gets better with time.
