Wicked Weed Dark Age is the newest barrel-aged offering from the Asheville, North Carolina brewery. While this is the first time in bottles, this beer geek pleasing stout was one of the first beers released at WIcked's downtown brewpub.
There have been a lot of wild and funky beers hitting the market from Wicked Weed lately. This release is a bit of a break from the funk. Dark Age is a bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. It's big – 12.7% alcohol by volume.
Humanity's path out of the Dark Age is one without end. This path carries us away from the mystical to the measurable, from the magical to the mathematical, and is a meticulous tale of progress from madness to method. Yet, we still find wonder in the Magic, and the extraordinary potential in the Mystery. Out of this yearning for the old ways, Dark Age Imperial Stout emerges from the whisky barrel, it's dark malt complexity and bold, yet balanced, sweetness, softened by its mystical evolution in oak.
Wicked Weed Dark Age is a 12.7 ounce bottle offering. Hitting shelves across the brewery's entire market now.
