This year’s ‘spiced latte ale’ has an updated recipe. I’ve reviewed the Pumpkin before, it’s inspired by Dunkin’s take on the ubiquitous Pumpkin Spice Latte, and this year Harpoon changed up the recipe a bit (it’s been brewed with lactose previously): Overall: Interesting, fruitier/more estery than I’d expect, but it matches the description and is fairly drinkable. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body with light spice into the finish. Coffee notes are subtle and provide a bit of fruitiness, esters. Taste: Grainy, lighter cream ale base with light spices and a bready/doughy character-reminds me of raw cinnamon roll dough. Smell: Coffee liqueur, light cinnamon spice (perhaps a bit of allspice as well), with a sweet roll aroma a bit like a Danish. So I guess you’d say it’s a pastry cream ale, if there’s ever been such a thing.Īppearance: Orange color, translucent, with an off-white head. Brewed with actual Dunkin’ Coffee Rolls and Dunkin’ coffee, this beer balances notes of cinnamon goodness and coffee roast in an easy-drinking Cream Ale. Sugar, spice and everything nice – everything you could want with this classic Dunkin’ donut-inspired beer. I started with the Coffee Roll, a 4.6% ABV cream ale brewed with actual Dunkin’ products: Let’s just get straight to those reviews! Dunkin’ Coffee Roll Cream Ale It’s the fifth year the two companies have collaborated, and this year’s offerings not only include Dunkin’ Pumpkin but three new beers to round it all out. Time for some reviews I know you’ve been dying for- Harpoon Brewery and Dunkin’ coffee-themed beers! These four Dunkin’ coffee inspired brews returned this year in Harpoon’s Dunkin’ Box O’ Beer, and the brewery sent me cans of each beer to review.
