A blend of specialty malts gives this beer 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.

It's nearing a year old, so...

Pours a clear deep brown with dark caramel highlights and a fleeting dark cream head that dissipates into nothing.

Deeply caramelized malt, chocolate, nutty notes, and light roast form the aroma.

Flavor is toastier initially, with roast malt, caramel, and slightly burnt toast weighing in later. Chocolate pervades throughout, though not sweet. Somewhat mocha. There's a slight coffee finish.

Body is moderate, with low carbonation and light astringency.

Roasty, toasty, caramelly, slightly sweet, and slightly bitter. Earthy hops underlie the flavor, but cave to the malt.

Serving type: bottle
