Year of New Beer: Black Angel, Wicked Weed Brewing (Asheville)

Written By: Dion on 01/29/2016

For reasons I can't quite explain, I have never tried this beer before. I thought I had, but after more than an hour of searching through posts, notes, and pics, I realized I had not. The nose is filled primarily with tart cherries, augmented by lesser notes of coffee, chocolate, and oak. The sour theme continues to the tongue as the fruits are sharp and biting, overpowering the faint cocoa and bourbon barrel elements. A little bit of peppery spice and leather as well. Very good, but not to the level of some of the more recent chapters in this series.
