Chocolate-Covered Black Angel

Chocolate-Covered Black Angel, from Wicked Weed Brewing, is 7.2% ABV.







As described by Wicked Weed Brewing: "Chocolate-covered black angel is a dark, sour ale that we combine with 2 pounds per gallon of tart Montmorency cherries. After the beer rests in Kentucky bourbon barrels, we then blend it into steel tanks with another 2 pounds per gallon of Montmorency cherries and 100 pounds of Honduran cacao nibs from French Broad Chocolates. Give in to the darkness"



Angel of Darkness

Angel of Darkness, from Wicked Weed Brewing, is 11% ABV.....hence the name, I suppose.







Here's the description from Wicked Weed Brewing: "Angel of Darkness is a barrel-aged American sour. This ale is blended with 1.5 pounds per gallon of boysenberries, blackberries, raspberries, and cherries and is aged in Oloroso sherry casks. After 14 months of aging in these flavor-intense barrels, the beer is blended onto another 1.5 pound per gallon of these dark fruits in stainless steel tanks for two months. A total of 3 tons of fruit and 16 months of maturation later....." you get Angel of Darkness.
