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.

Pours black with a medium sized head. Aroma is all roast with nice coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is lively with carbonation and a medium. Flavor is coffee, chocolate and a nice malty sweetness. Very nice.

Draft at the brewery tour. Poured a clear dark brown color. The head was tan with an orange tint and left some lace behind on the glass. Not much in the way of aroma other than a light nutty note. Medium bodied and dry-ish up front. some delicate sweetness emerged at the end. Not as sweet as the Harpoon Brown Ale. Nutty with hints of roast and chocolate. Decent.

A good effort by harpoon. Deep brown coclor with impressive fluffy head. Just good burnt barely smells and falvor with some grassy hops in the back. Simple, good, affordable

12oz. Pour is deep brown with small off white head. Aromas of roasted malts, smoke, wood, and slight earthy hops. Flavor is earthy hops, smoke, and finishing somewhat dry. Nice hop presence throughout. I’m liking this one.

Dark pour with tan head. Aroma of some nuts and raisins, similar to a brown ale. Flavor was very limited, slight taste of metallic which hurts score.

Pours a deep brown with a small lingering off white foamy head. Some fig and dark fruits are apparent behind a bit of a spiced bread sort of malt. Some caramel and roasted chocolate are also present. Flavor starts with a nice mellow bakers chocolate sort of bitter sweetness. Picks up some hop notes in the middle with a nice rounded coffee and nut balance. Good roasted malt toasty finish. with just a small bit of lingering bitterness. Medium body and a fairly active carbonation but better than other Harpoons. Not a bad dunkel by any means, and better than all the other Harpoons I have had.

12 ounce bottle from State Line Liquors. Pours a clear cranberry red color with a large frothy had. Good retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel with notes of nuts and dark fruits. Taste is dark roasted malts, prunes and other dark fruits and caramel. Medium bodied,
