Descent 23 (D23)

Our 9th Birthday Beer has descended! Starting a downhill descent into the unknown requires a level of composure. DESCENT 23, like its eight predecessors requires plenty of composure, it's about taking the palate on a journey, taking the ADVENTUROUS route, and BENDING a few SPOKES along the way. 

The Imperial Stout is aged in whiskey barrels for 12 MONTHS contributing whiskey, vanilla, and wild yeast characters. The end result is a WINTER WARMER with roasty, bitter black malt balanced by soft leather-like esters.

Flemm (FL)

On a trip to Belgium and a guided tour of the famous Rodenbach brewery, we fell in love with the Flanders Red style of beer. Brewed with wild yeast and lactobacillus to create complexity and acid. Extended maturation in oak for over 12 months, the beer is blended with an aged unoaked version and a younger unoaked version to balance the acid and add vibrance to the beer. Best enjoyed in a tulip glass with some Passendale cows milk cheese.

Flemm, by the way, was the local farmer sitting at the bar at the local brasserie who made us feel welcome and made sure we got the right beer!

FreeWheeler (FW)

FreeWheeler has all the hoppy goodness of an IPA without the alc. Fully fermented just like a normal beer. Citrusy, tropical perfume and slight caramel malt are the highlights of this beer that allows you to Free Wheel home!

The process of brewing FreeWheeler is unique to BentSpoke due to the filtration process. BentSpoke uses a unique filter system from brewery equipment manufacturer DME. The filter removes all the fermented beer flavour called the retentate leaving the permeate (alcohol and water) behind. The flavour is then rehydrated with deaerated water, carbonated and is ready to package. Using this process allows BentSpoke to replicate full strength beer flavour in a non-alcohol beer.
