  • The beer is called the Harpoon Dunkin’ Coffee Porter and it is an alcoholic beverage that was created by combining Dunkin’s Espresso Blend Coffee with Harpoon’s popular craft beer.
  • The companies said in their press releases that the brew has a malty taste with the aromas of espresso and dark chocolate.
  • The press added that the drink is a balanced and smooth brew that offers robust and roasty notes.
  • The Dunkin’ Coffee Porter has a 6% ABV and the companies say it goes well with hearty stews, seasonal desserts, tailgating and most of Dunkin’s donuts.
  • The beer can only be found in select East Coast locations this fall.

DNKN stock was down about 1.8% on Tuesday.
