Harpoon Brown is brewed to accentuate the sweeter, rounder notes derived from six different malts, including a de-husked chocolate malt that adds a hint of chocolate. The blend of these malts produces a beer that is complex and delicious without being heavy. This drinkable beer is perfect as a session beer or paired with foods.

A: Brown, what did you expect?

S: Definitely smells like malt with some hops poking through. Not much here.

T: The taste is a bit watery. I'm understanding this is a session beer, but it's really pretty boring.

M: Quite smooth, actually.

D: This stuff is really drinkable. That's where this beer shines. Otherwise, prepare to be bored.

Found one of these in an old case of beer in the basement. Chilled it. Seemed to age well enough. Definitely taste the malt and nut flavors. Enjoyed it!
