This Munich dark pours a really dark red with a tan head. To the nose it has ripe fruit, molassass and a little citrus. First sip is rich with flavours of roasted malts with a little coffee thrown in. Finish is hoppy with a slight bitterness. Palate is roasty with lingering hops.

Pour was dark as expected, with a nutty-tan head. Aroma is of hops with chocolate. Lacing is medium thin, but still visible. Flavor goes from chocolate to slightly metallic and then to strong coffee. VERY unique in regards to the order. Smooth finish with little carbonation and some hop. Will drink again, as a friend of Harpoon!

Far and by, this is my favourite of all of the Harpoon beers. High on the alcohol content and heavy on the bitter flavour. Really well balanced, but rather hoppy at the same time. Beautifully dark pour and great feel going down the throat.

Bouteille de 12 oz achetée chez Beverage Warehouse (Winooski, VT). Arôme: Odeur de caramel et de mélasse. Apparence: La couleur est brune avec une très faible densité de bulle. Saveur: Goût de malt rôti et de caramel. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps et la texture sont mince. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de chocolat en arrière goût. (Rating #730)

I never thought I’d try a harpoon after reading some of the reviews of their beer. Aroma is that of freshly rinsed cotton whites. Dark dark red brown in my steeler mug. A slightly burned something inital flavor. More carbonation than flat. A little more than a little bitter on the finish - and it lasts. just a little coarse.

Deep brown beer, thick tan head. Nice deep malty aroma, milk chocolate and a touch of herbal hoppiness. Toasted almonds and some light maltiness. Flavour is a bit thin but the beer has some light herbal hop character. Lingering bitterness. Decent beer, but it’s not really a special one, either.

12oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color with an averaged sized tan head. Aromas of stronger roasted malts with some chocolate, and caramel. Tastes of roasted malts, chocolate, and caramel. The roastiness in the tastes were not as strong as the aromas whereas the caramel was stronger in the tastes than the aromas. Semi-sweet with a light bitter finish.

On draft at Dyles cafe with Stegosaurus. Pours dark wth an off-white head. Aroma of roast and alcohol. The flavor mostly roast and black licorice. interesting beer, but nothing great.
