Spoon Bender is an Imperial Stout conditioned on cocoa nibs, hand processed Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans and one of our favorite coffee varieties. The base beer combined with piles of cocoa nibs produce a chocolatey delight which is amplified and accentuated by the sweet, smooth flavor of vanilla bean and rounded out with just the right amount of coffee to create a truly decadent stout. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we enjoyed brewing it for you.

Opaque colour and steady beige head. Coffee latte, macchiato aroma. Mediun-bodied. Coffeish, vanilla, vanilla powder, toasted malts in the flavour. A bit for its abv. Taproom.

Can pour from the brewery. It's an opaque black with light viscosity and sparkle, finger-width light brown foamy head with fair retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong roasted, earthy malt, joined by vanilla, cocoa and hint of coffee (the latter three all better as it sits). Taste is strong, balanced mix of roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, coffee and lactose. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, adjuncts shine in the aroma as it sits but are well balanced in the taste. Enjoyable.
