Chocolate dark brown, malty and a bit of chocolate aroma. Lace in glass. Mid mouth feel, an easy drink as well malted with toffee, a drop of coffee.An OK dunkel, a very good American brown, the later because of root beer like secondary tastes.Well carbonated.

Dark pour with nutty aftertaste. Rich and bold in taste, hints of coffee and slight orange.

This Munich dark pours a really dark red with a tan head. To the nose it has ripe fruit, molassass and a little citrus. First sip is rich with flavours of roasted malts with a little coffee thrown in. Finish is hoppy with a slight bitterness. Palate is roasty with lingering hops.

Pour was dark as expected, with a nutty-tan head. Aroma is of hops with chocolate. Lacing is medium thin, but still visible. Flavor goes from chocolate to slightly metallic and then to strong coffee. VERY unique in regards to the order. Smooth finish with little carbonation and some hop. Will drink again, as a friend of Harpoon!

Far and by, this is my favourite of all of the Harpoon beers. High on the alcohol content and heavy on the bitter flavour. Really well balanced, but rather hoppy at the same time. Beautifully dark pour and great feel going down the throat.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2007 I never thought I’d try a harpoon after reading some of the reviews of their beer. Aroma is that of freshly rinsed cotton whites. Dark dark red brown in my steeler mug. A slightly burned something inital flavor. More carbonation than flat. A little more than a little bitter on the finish - and it lasts. just a little coarse.

Deep brown beer, thick tan head. Nice deep malty aroma, milk chocolate and a touch of herbal hoppiness. Toasted almonds and some light maltiness. Flavour is a bit thin but the beer has some light herbal hop character. Lingering bitterness. Decent beer, but it’s not really a special one, either.
