Review – Harpoon Munich Dark
From Harpoon Brewery – Harpoon Munich Dark is a blend of dark malts that creates a deeper hue than some other beers brewed in this style. The grains which create a malty chocolate-like flavor also add a warm malty nose that mingles with the subtle hop aroma. This medium bodied beer is balanced quite well with a moderately bitter hop finish.
Harpoon Brewery – Harpoon Munich Dark – 12 oz. bottle poured into a beer glass. 5.5% abv. Part of a Harpoon Sampler Pack – Purchased at Dawsons Liquor – Severna Park, MD.
Appearance: Deep plum with an inch of frothy tan head.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Malt, hearty bread and ripe fruits.
Taste: A fantastic bitterness. Perhaps a bit of unsweetened cocoa, chicory and cinnamon (like sucking on a cinnamon stick, not sweet or spicy).
Mouthfeel: Clean and a bit more fizzy than its appearance suggests.
Overall: The class of the field, this one. Lots of bitterness makes up for the lack of body.
