We really didn’t plan on doing a Wicked Weed opinion-piece video but we had a bottle of the 2016 Dark Arts in the fridge for awhile but kept putting it off due to whatever reason. I was grabbing another beer to review and saw it laying there. I mentioned it to Mike and he just said “We’re doing it” or something along those lines. I hope you like this review with our opinions sprinkled in here and there. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Happy Star Wars Day!! We’ve got Revolution’s Deth’s Tar and some special guests to celebrate Star Wars Day!
Style: Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
Container: 22oz Bomber
Glassware: Teku’s
Notes: Deth’s Tar is a barrel-aged Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout.

Bacon Beer! Ok, it’s not bacon beer but we do love a good Rauchbier!
Style: Rauchbier
Container: 12oz Can
Glassware: Flutes
Notes: A lighter take on our Rauchbier, Wilbur is subtly smoky and delightfully drinkable. Often referred to as our “Bacon Beer,” this smoky lager features campfire aromas and hints of cured meat. Lucky for vegetarians, Wilbur’s robust flavor comes from beech-smoked barley malt from Bamberg, Germany… not bacon. It pours a straw yellow (5.9%)

We have so much Treehouse that we don’t know how to contain ourselves!
Style: DIPA
Container: 16oz Can
Glassware: Treehouse Teku’s
Notes: Bright w/Citra’s aroma is a citrus explosion. The taste follows suit with notes of orange juice, grapefruit, and tangerine with a gentle finish. She is dry, soft, and adequately bittered resulting in a very approachable and thirst quenching (7.8%)
