Commercial Description:
Harpoon Brown is brewed to accentuate the sweeter, rounder notes derived from six different malts, including a de-husked chocolate malt that adds a hint of chocolate. The blend of these malts produces a beer that is complex and delicious without being heavy. This drinkable beer is perfect as a session beer or paired with foods.

Copper colored with a thin head. Malty aroma with toffee and peanut brittle in the nose. Malty palate that is rather thin and watery. No trace of hops.

Pours brownish amber with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of nuts, caramel, crystal and brown malt. Tastes of caramel, sweet malt, dough and crystal. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Enjoyable, but not exceptional.

Rated while drinking: Pours a deep amber color with a fluffy off-white head thats almost completely disappearing. Aroma is a bit off... there’s some sweet malts in there, but it smells like a dirty bottle all in all. Flavor makes up for it with a pretty nice balance. Not too malty, and not too sweet. As mentioned on the bottle, this would be an ideal session ale.

Purchased in Harpoon variety case. 12 oz bottle poured with thin head and nice lacing. A trace of wet cardbord (oxidation?) under a strong, sweet, malty base. Little hop character. Good mouthfeel. Not bad, but nothng special.

On tap. tap line may have been bad, tasted fishy, hard to determine real flavor other than sweet. Had again on tap and tasted like the ocean and fishy. I know its a session beer but that doesn’t mean it has to suck.
