| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 16, 2009 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.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 7, 2009 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. dkachur (2414), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
