Harpoon Munich Dark

Dark brown color with an off white head, left a little bit of lacing. Aroma of toasted malt and some chocolate. Flavors of caramel, roasted malt and nuts. Palate was a bit thin, but overall a solid beer.

Dark brown-red with a creamy beige head, sheets of soft lacing. Aroma is burnt sugar, caramel, toast, cocoa, lightly metallic. Taste is roasted malt, more chocolatey, caramel, sweet, a bit thin with a light metallic note.

12 oz bottle. Pours a rather attractive dark, reddish mahogany with thin, lasting cream-colored head. The aroma is caramel, toast, a little bit of fruit, a hint of stale bubblegum, and very distant oregano. The flavor is caramel and toast again, but with a very strong nutty taste. Finish has some earthy hops in it. Overall it gets astringent after a few sips. Not bad, I guess, but the nuttiness turns me off.

Poured into a pint glass from the bottle. The color is a brownish color with a foamy white head. The smell is of roasted malts, some hint of hops. The Taste is of dark chocolate,a hint of coffee flavor, roasted malts, and some hop feel. This beer has a nice lightness to it. Easy drinking.

On tap at The Oyster Bar in Boston. Brown in color with a decent sized beige head. Aroma is of malt, chocolate and caramel. Taste is of caramel, nuts, lots of chocolate and malt.

12oz bottle purchased as part of a mixed 12 pack at Market Basket. Pours a translucent dark brown with a good half inch of light tan head. Smells sweet, with chocolate and caramel malt character with banana and nut playing roles. Nut, chocolate, coffee comprise most of the flavor, hints at peatiness? Chocolate dominates the finish and aftertaste. Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. Full-flavored with no real perceivable flaws. A solid brown ale, and another slam dunk for Harpoon!

Enjoyed via draft at the brewery. The beer pours the characteristic dark brown to nearly black. Aromas of toasted malt come through in the nose, along with a touch of maltiness from what is perhaps Munich malt. However, a touch more would do the beer well. The palate is crisp, light, and rather refreshing, blending toaty malts, relatively light carbonation, and a neutral finish. Overall, a very well done dunkel.

Pours brown with a fizzy soda-like thin head that fades leaving trails. Caramel malt aroma with roast and some nuttiness. Smooth creamy texture with a caramel taste and good hop balance as well. Overall a bit sweet and sticky.
