It's official. Dunkin' is teaming up with Harpoon Brewery to create a coffee-beer pairing for the fall season. It's called the Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter and it's already available in select retail stores across the eastern U.S. The recipe is centered around Harpoon Brewery's classic craft beer, infused with Dunkin's Espresso Blend. It features 100% Arabica beans sourced from Central and South America, ensuring that you're getting a proper energy fix while enjoying a cold one. It's reviewed to have a smooth taste and 'aromas of espresso and dark chocolate'. Yum! WAAF Radio The coffee-beer pairing could be drunk by itself or you could pair it with a stew or dessert. This also isn't the first time Dunkin' created a coffee-infused beer. Previously, Dunkin' collaborated with Wormtown Brewery for a beer that was exclusively sold at the brewery's taproom. This will be the first Dunkin'-infused beer that will be widely available to the public. While coffee beers tend to be a bit on the controversial side, they still do pretty well to the point where many breweries will offer similar beverages come each fall. Harpoon Brewery offers other seasonal autumn flavors such as Hibiscus Cider, Imperial Pumpkin Stout, and "Flannel Friday" amber ale.
