Nov 12, 2009 On tap in Boston (I forget where). Deep red brown colour. Thin off-white head. Caramel aroma. Fruity malt flavour. Quite sweet. Not much hop presence. A little sticky. Not especially bad, just not my thing.

Sep 20, 2009 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.

Aug 17, 2009 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!

Jul 26, 2009 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.
