Wicked Weed Barrel Aged Xibalba 2017

TASTING NOTES

Under midnight skies, we imbued our creation with the velvety darkness of cacoa, the smoldering fire of chiles, the power of pumpkin, and the nuance of spices. This combination created an otherworldly beast, one whose intensity we couldn’t contain. We fearfully crammed him into our bourbon oak chambers. He shrieked through the nights, and we laid awake in terror as the barrels groaned. One moonlit night, Xibalba burst forth, his power and strength surging beyond imagination. We fled in horror as he ransacked the temple with the subtle scent of bourbon and spices as backdrop to the utter carnage.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Located in West Asheville, the most recent Wicked Weed addition is this 50 barrel Production Brewery responsible for brewing and distributing their fresh beer offerings such as Freak of Nature Double IPA and Pernicious IPA. Christened in July 2015, the Production Brewery is their answer to the Southeast’s call for more of our beer. Currently, their focus is brewing and packaging our fresh beer to send to North Carolina and surrounding markets with future plans to expand the facility to include tours and a tasting room.
