BentSpoke Brewing Co

American Brown Ale·Australia·6% ABV·One of 23 American Brown Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Dick Tracy's chocolate and caramel character. The first beer ever brewed at BentSpoke, repeated every year since and put into cans for the first time in 2024, for the brewery's tenth anniversary. Chocolate, dark roasted and crystal malt with rolled oats give a rolling roast character, dark toffee and a nutty sweetness, while Citra and Cascade layer orange and grapefruit peel with a touch of pine over the top. At 46 IBU the hopping runs firmer than the style usually does.
