Harpoon Munich Dark

Brewed by Harpoon Brewery
Style: Dunkel
Boston, Massachusetts USA

I liked this beer and it seems to hit the style mark well. Dark red-brown, clear, with a fairly plucky tan head. Bready and malty aroma, body is smooth, easy drinking, maybe a tad thin. Malt sweetness balanced with a clean nutty character. Mild bitterness.

deep brown colour, off white head. aroma of wheat flour, nuts, wood and malt. mild chocolate and roast in the flavour. mild juicy malt. dryish finish. not bad.

Dark color. Fair amount of carbonation. Bready mouthfeel and taste. Not too complex, wouldn’t be a bad session beer. Basically, another decent offering from a consistent brewery.

nothing special...somewhat similar to an unappetizing and simple stout...aroma of caramel and a touch of hops....flavor of bitter chocolate and a touch of hops...some coffee as well...a tad thin palate

Couleur brune maronne aux reflets rouges. Pratiquement pas de formation de mousse. Arômes plutôt muets, faiblement grillé, levuré et de houblon floraux. Flaveurs de bonbon rose rappelant les peppermints, mésentente entre le caramel et le café. Aucune caractéristique propre ou authenticité, semble générique. Corps d’épaisseur mince, faible carbonatation. Dégustation à l’aveuglette avec Nic et Joce.

Dark mahogany with orange highlites under a small stone khaki head. Not much going on in the aroma save for some sweet malty, caramel, nutty notes. Uninspiring flavors that reminded me a bit of a "better" pale lager. No depth, no complexity, just some malt, a little toffee an some brown sugar. Very restrained hop presence but enough to keep the malt in check. Finish was dry and mouthfeel was thin. Overall, not a bad beer but not a beer that gives you much of a reason for wanting another.

Bottle 12 oz - Pours brown with ruby highlights a decent offwhite head laces the glass on the way down.. Aroma is strong of caramel malts with a touch of hops. Taste is very malty, caramel, a touch of coffee, maybe some milk chocolate. On the palate this is very balanced smooth and tasty.. Malty, but a little on the watery side but pretty typical for a dunkel. I liked this. Better than expected.. A very drinkable dunkel.

Pours medium brown with a little ruby highlights and thin beige head. Aroma of caramel malt and a little vanilla. Flavors much the same, but kind of thin in the palate for this style.
