Brew a classic, dark, easy-drinking stout at home with the Coopers Stout beer kit. This Coopers beer kit is a straightforward homebrew beer kit that makes 23 L, and it includes a 7 g sachet of Coopers yeast, so beginners can get rolling with minimal extra shopping. Expect a dark brown to near-black beer with a persistent, creamy head that looks a bit like espresso crema, plus a finish that stays nicely dry rather than sweet.

Aroma is all about fresh coffee, light chocolate, and toasted grain. Flavour follows the same lane with dark malt character, a smooth, satisfying mouth feel, and enough hop bitterness to balance the malt and keep it crisp. For a fuller body, Coopers recommends brewing it with Brew Enhancer 3. Drink it young, or cellar a few bottles for years and see how it mellows over time.
