On Cask. Hoppy aroma, with caramel and coca-cola, cloudy brown, wee tan head. Heavy malt taste, with caramel and treacle. Medium bodied, quite bitter. Well done!

Bottle - Pours a dark black/brown in color with very little head or carbonation. Aroma is of malt and slight of roasted malt. Some hop, but not much. Flavor is light of malt with a roasty undertone. Some coffee and very faint hint of chocolate. Mildly bitter. Finish lingers with some medium hop bitterness. This is not an exceptional beer, but is is easy drinking. Worth finishing the 6-er... :)

This is a fairly mediocre beer from a mediocre brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a very dark brown color with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet toasted malt. The flavor is light roasty malts and coffee. It is mildly sweet with a crisp floral hop undertone. The finish is roasty. The palate is moderately smooth.

Pours out a red so dark it looks brown until held up to the light with a tannish head that does not last very long. Smells of cherries, bananas, and oak. Tastes of brown sugar, malt and chocolate with a smooth finish. Crisp mouthfeel. Interesting full textured beer for Harpoon.

Had this one on draught in Boston, Massachusetts. Very dark, translucent and slightly cloudy color, thick head, baked bread and caramel notes, very malty. Pretty good.

A dark ruby beer with a tan, foamy head that quickly faded. Pleasant, lightly sweet taste of of roasted malt. Nice hop finish. Kind of a dark version of a lager.

Sampled at the Vermont Brewers Fest 2005. Clear brown body with a thin offwhite head. Aroma of malt and brown sugar. Flavor of malt, burnt caramel and brown sugar. The body is light to medium with an oily and sticky texture and moderate carbonation. A good and honest dunkel, a solid effort from a brewery that hasn’t impressed me yet.
