REVIEW: Dunkin’ Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew

/ / Reviews / 6 Comments

Dunkin Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew

What is the Dunkin’ Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew?

It’s Dunkin’s ultra-smooth, full-bodied cold brew coffee with chocolate and cherry-flavored syrup. It’s available for a limited time.

How is it?

Its cherry flavor reminds me of what’s in flavored colas. As someone who adores cherry colas, I find the artificial fruitiness to be pleasant. But the cherry is totally chocblocking the chocolate flavor. Sometimes it’s there, but faint, and other times I can’t taste it. Whatever flavor there is, it doesn’t overwhelm the cold brew coffee, and it’s not overly sweet. Even though I’m disappointed it’s cherry-heavy, I still enjoyed drinking it.

Is there anything else you need to know?

Dunkin Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew at 715 PM

I drank this a little after 7:15 p.m. and a small Dunkin’ Cold Brew has 174 milligrams of caffeine. So I guess I’ll be watching The Late Show, then the Late Late Show, then whatever infomercials that follow them, and then the morning news.

At home, I added a splash of sweet cream-flavored creamer, which enhanced the fruitiness and stomped out whatever chocolate flavor there was.

Throughout April, Dunkin’ customers can get this flavor, or any Cold Brew flavor, as part of a special offer of any medium-sized Cold Brew for only $2 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Conclusion:

Dunkin’s Chocolate Cherry Cold Brew is a decent tasting beverage, but I do wish the chocolate stood out more. It’s definitely worth a try if you can get it for just $2.

Remember when Wheat Thins used to come out with new flavors all the time? Those were good times in the snack blogging world. But now Wheat Thins have been relegated to some janitor’s closet, while Triscuit and Good Thins slowly eat up Wheat Thins’ shelf space. (Spotted by Carla at Safeway.)

SPOTTED: Dove Gelato Triple Chocolate Bars

Dove Gelato Triple Chocolate Bars

I look forward to a future when we break through the triple chocolate barrier. But we should not set our sights for just quadruple or quintuple chocolate products. To stay ahead of the Russians, we must develop octuple or nonuple chocolate products. It’s going to take our nation’s best food scientists to reach this goal. But I’m confident, no, make that chocodent, that it is within our reach. (Spotted by Rachel C at Harmons.)
