The Beast: Donuts

I have been to The Beast once before, after one of my 10k runs (to re-fuel) for brunch.  I had no idea The Beast made donuts until a friend bought us two to try.  We got to sample the margherita and the maple bacon.  The texture of the donut is not like a typical donut.  It seemed more like a light airy and slightly sweet bread.

The margherita had a lime glaze on top and was filled with a lime custard.  So yummy and tangy and custardy.  The fact that the base of the donut wasn't too sweet  worked well with the sweet glaze.  The maple bacon donut when I first looked at it, I thought it was a coconut donut.  The crumbled bits of donut looked like toasted coconut shavings.  I thought I would hate the combination of meat and donut.  But it was delicious, better than the margherita.
