Sociable Ciderwerks Spoke Wrench Java Apple. 5.8% ABV. Crafted and Canned by Sociable Ciderwerks, MPLS-MINN. Decidedly Different. Delightfully Sociable. Stout Apple. Ingredients: Fresh Pressed apples, malt, hops, cacao, coffee, yeast.
Dark brown, opaque, slim white head, soon gone.
In the nose: coffee, cola, apples. I don't really ever mix coffee and apples. Maybe I'll bite into an apple after drinking some coffee, but mixing them? Nah.
In the mouth: Big apple flavor up front, you know it's a cider, and yet....coffee? Coffee cider? I'm still, like, what? Light bodied, easy drinking, but very strange. I'm not sure who this is meant for, and, yet, I don't mind it at all. I'm not in love with it, it's touching my special buttons, but, man, it does not suck. Actually, I'm starting to like it.
Spoke Wrench reworks what you’d expect from apples by blending the Midwest’s finest freshly pressed apples with fresh cacao, chocolate and roast malts and cold pressed coffee. The result is a taste bud tune up that takes you from subtle chocolate to roast toffee without ever losing that signature apple crispness. If you're in the mood for a bit of a change this Spoke Wrench is sure to get you tuned up.
