Beer fans, it’s time to geek the fark out -- San Diego Comic Con is just weeks away and that means the time is here for comics, cosplay, and the annual release of Stone’s 13% ABV Farking Wheaton W00t Bourbon Imperial Stout!

Every release is met with high ratings, and 2017’s version is no different -- it’s already rising through Untappd with a hero-worshiping 4.31 score! The frenzied masses of dark beer fans swear by this Imperial Stout’s dark chocolate wonders for five key reasons:

• Pecans - W00t Stout is one of the few beers made with the sweet and dense nuttiness of real pecans, giving the Stout flavors of a cocoa-drenched pecan pie.

• Bourbon and Rye - Every quarter batch of this Stout is aged in bourbon barrels, meshing with flaked Rye Malts for a vanilla smooth yet spicy finish of 100-proof whiskey.

• Booze - At 13% ABV, this dark and brooding sipper is one of the booziest you’ll find in the summer.

• Nerd Cred - It’s a three-way collaboration between Stone, Star Trek’s Wil Wheaton, and Fark.com creator Drew Curtis -- beer geeks to the extreme.

• Because Aliens - Just like Comic Con’s limitless aisles of memorabilia, each release of W00t Stout is a one-of-a-kind treasure with new bottle art -- and this year’s takes inspiration from the sci-fi horror classic Alien.

With every sip, you’ll feel the facehugging, chestbursting thump of bourbon-spiked, chocolate covered pecans. In space, it’s possible no one will hear you scream, but for any dark beer fan that gets a sip of W00t Stout’s flavors, their squeals of joy are heard across all of San Diego.
