Review - Harpoon Brewery's Munich Dark
"Inspired by the centuries-old Bavarian beer, our Harpoon Munich Dark has a dark, balanced maltiness complimented with a moderate hop finish. We introduced this beer in 1998 and received first prize for Best Beer Overall of 1998 in BarleyCorn Magazine." --Harpoon Brewery
Personally, this is my (Ian's) favorite of the five Harpoon year-round offerings. It pours a deep caramel color with a frothy, light-brown head. Good lacing over a murky body. We liken the appearance to that of maple syrup. Malty aroma with hints of grain, bark, toasted honey-wheat bagel, and caramel. Initial taste is sweet which carries right through to the finish. Short duration on the mouth. Creamy with soft carbonation once it's down the hatch. Delicious.
