Harpoon Dark is a Harpooner favorite, and has been since we first started brewing it. While the beer has never been our lead horse outside the brewery walls, that’s okay by us. We’re just happy brewing it and drinking it.
A blend of specialty malts gives our Dark a velvety mouthfeel with roasted notes and a hint of chocolate, balanced by a subtle hop aroma. Hard to describe but easy to drink, Harpoon Dark is rich in character and light on the palate. The overall character is hearty malt and chocolate balanced with a crisp hop bitterness.

12oz bottle. Ruby red-brown color, small soapy beige head. Burnt caramel and toffee aroma. A very well executed Dunkel, siplay a nice balance between the sweet dark malts and soapy bitterness of the hops. Medium to full bodied, has just a hint more hop character than a typical European version. Not unlike Anchor Christmas without all the spices. Above par.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a medium-sized tan head. Aromas are a little bit chocolaty with dark malt and a kind of dusty air. Flavor starts with a little bit of an annoying sweet darkness, which yields to an earthy peat phase before finishing watery. This is OK, but not great.

Pours dark mahogany into a shaker. Off-white head quickly recedes leaving no lacing. Dark spciy caramel aromas. Dry and malty with a lasting caramel finish.

Pour is a brown with a large tan head. Aroma is some very faint sweet malts. Flavor is even harder to pick up. Thick mouthfeel with some roated malts and not much else. It not bad per say but nothing really great.

Dark ruby color, small brownish head, some lace. Malty, a bit troasted aroma. Toasted, a bit chocolaty, malty flavor. Yeasty kind of notes in the aftertaste. Well-brewed into style, but as such not really so interesting although this is a good beer.
