Peoples Pint Dark Helmüt

Brewed by Peoples Pint
Style: Dunkel
Greenfield, Massachusetts USA

In short: A lifeless watery roasted dark beer with raisin notes. Extra bland.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Almost black body with almost no head
In long: The very light nose offers a tiny bit of roastiness. Body is watery and the carbonation is rather low making for a rather lifeless mouthfeel. Flavour of ashes in water, some raisins, a tiny bit of molasses. No hops presence. A whole lot of nothing. Really unsatisfying. I drank this at the pub august 2009 and I see the two ratings for that beer are 3 months before I had it. Could it be that this beer was on tap for three months and it was getting tired. That pint felt more tired than an overweight 30-something virgin dude after a Star Trek marathon night on the SciFi channel.

My Bottom Line:
This stout Dunkel offers commendable molasses and roastiness to lather both tongue and minty hops for a satisfying pint.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the brownish blackness.
-The hop bitterness is rather leafy.
-This may be a tad too sweet for the style.
-The aroma is quite shy, but the harmonious flavor profile makes up for it.

On tap at the brewpub.
