(WHDH) — Dunkin’ Donuts has announced that it has teamed up with Worcester-based Wormtown Brewery to a launch a limited edition stout-style beer.

In honor of the darkest day of the year – December 21 – Dunkin’ says it will launch “DDark Roasted Brew,” the first beer to be brewed with Dunkin’ Donuts Dark Roast beans.

The beer features “full-roasted coffee flavor reminiscent of freshly-ground beans with a creamy mouthfeel.”

DDark Roasted Brew will be available exclusively for purchase on draft at Wormtown Brewery’s tap room at 72 Shrewsbury Street beginning at the winter solstice, 11:28 a.m. on December 21.

“We’re confident this beer is going to be an instant favorite for New Englanders this holiday season,” said Rob Branca, a local Dunkin’ Donuts franchise owner in Worcester.

To celebrate the release, Wormtown Brewery and Branca will donate $11,500 to the Worcester Food Bank to help the local community make the most out of the holiday season.
