Warps have often been used to explain disc properties, but well characterisedexamples are important due to their role in disc evolution. Scattered lightimages of discs with central gaps have revealed sharp warps, such that theouter rings are shadowed by tilted inner discs. The near-IR intensity dropsalong the ring around TTauri star DoAr44 have been interpreted in terms of acentral warp. We report new ALMA observations of DoAr44 in the continuum at 230GHz and 350 GHz (at ~10 au), along with a new epoch of SPHERE/IRDISdifferential polarised imaging taken during excellent weather conditions. TheALMA observations resolve the ring and confirm the decrements proposed fromdeconvolution of coarse 336 GHz data. The scattered light image constrains thedips, which correspond to a misaligned inner disc with a relative inclination$\xi$ = 21.4 $^{+6.7}_{-8.3}$ deg. The SPHERE intensity profile shows amorphological change compared to a previous epoch that may be interpreted as avariable orientation of the inner disc, from $\xi$ ~30 deg to $\xi$ ~20 deg.The intensity dips probably correspond to temperature decrements, as theirmm-spectral index, $\alpha^{230 GHz}_{350 GHz}$ ~2.0 $\pm$ 0.1, is indicativeof optically thick emission. The azimuth of the two temperature decrements areleading clockwise relative to the IR-dips, by $\eta$ = 14.95 deg and $\eta$ =7.92 deg. For a retrograde disc, such shifts are expected from a thermal lagand imply gas surface densities of $\Sigma_g$ = 117 $\pm$ 10 g/cm$^2$ and$\Sigma_g$ = 48 $\pm$ 10 g/cm$^2$. A lopsided disc, with contrast ratio$f_r$=2.4 $\pm$ 0.5, is also consistent with the large continuum crescent.
