Yeh Coopers can take a while to come good - but not that long!!!

Interesting to hear brewtaster. 3.5 months is a long time to wait! I was hoping to drink this at crimbo, so will see what its like of christmas eve. With the coopers stouts, I didnt notice a great change in taste between 1-5 months.

Canadian Blonde? Is that a lager? Never been a fan of lager, home brewed or otherwise. If not, I might be keen to try it.

Re the Cooper's dark ale - i'm normally a BIAB man but was given the DA kit as a birthday present - brewed it and tried ita month later and didn't think much of it. tried a month later - still not v. nice. Then last week 3.5 months after brewing i decided to tidy shelving in garage, thought i'd just pour the DA down the drain. Decided to try one last time - and it's now very nice, mellow smooth and rounded. So pls bear this in mind if it's initially disappointing. Still got a Cooper's Canadian Blonde kit on shelf....

Tried the Coopers dark ale yesterday. To be honest, I was a little dissapointed. It looks like great beer, smells like great beer but there was just something missing with the taste. Wasnt full enough for my liking. I am going to give it another couple of months as you suggest Brewtaster. And then see if it progresses.

How does the Ditch's stout taste Sim?
