We present 0.95–1.80 μm spectroscopy of the∼ 12–27 M Jup companion orbiting the faint (R∼ 13.6), young (∼ 120 Myr) M-dwarf 2MASS J01225093–2439505 (" 2M0122–2439 B") at 1 farcs 5 separation (50 AU). Our coronagraphic long-slit spectroscopy was obtained with the new high contrast imaging platform Very Large Telescope Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch (SPHERE) during Science Verification. The unique long-slit capability of SPHERE enables spectral resolution an order of magnitude higher than other extreme AO exoplanet imaging instruments. With a low mass, cool temperature, and very red colors, 2M0122–2439 B occupies a particularly important region of the substellar color–magnitude diagram by bridging the warm directly imaged hot planets with late-M/early-L spectral types (eg, β Pic b and ROXs 42Bb) and the cooler, dusty objects near the L/T transition (HR 8799bcde and 2MASS 1207b). We fit BT-Settl atmospheric models to our R≈ 350 spectrum and find
