Coopers Ol' Brown Dog - Anyone tried it?

[clauddr]

Hey guys
Anyone tried Coopers hoppy version of American Brown Ale called Ol Brown Dog?

I threw this on last Sunday with a mate who I'm introducing to brewing. It's bubbling away in the spare room and smells pretty good through the airlock but just wanted to see if anyone's given it a crack and their thoughts.

I've never even tried a brown ale but I liked to look of the ingredients and the flavour description so thought why not!

Here're the ingredients:
Ol Brown Dog
1.7kg Coopers Dark Ale
1.5kg Thomas Coopers Amber Malt
500g Coopers Light Dry Malt
25g Centennial Hops
50g Cascade Hops
300g Crystal Malt Grain
11g BRY-97 Yeast
250g Coopers
Carbonation Drops

Good to know...I'm watching it bubbling away and sniffing the airlock every night HAHA!
12 brews...that's twice as many as I have!

It's a great brew. I did it for my fourth and it's nearly all done. The first brew I was happy to share with people without having to be there to explain what it was supposed to be
