NARRAGANSETT ALLIE’S DONUTS DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PORTER

DIESEL PUNK PORTER
Dissipating molasses-sapped burnt caramel sweetness knocked back by less effective soy-sauced stale coffee sourness.

Like a chocolate-dipped raspberry tart or chocolate raspberry truffle, its temptingly rich decadence proves addicting. Chewy cocoa-fudged raspberry puree entry picks up molasses cookie sugaring, nutty coffee splurge and dried fruited respite. Distant blackberry and black cherry undertones as well as casual cola, hazelnut and pecan nuances fluctuate beneath dark-roasted mocha malting.
