Each Halloween we release this special concoction to celebrate one of our favorite holidays. Deep blood-red in color, an intense aroma of pine and citrus from an abundance of American hops balances the sweetness and rich, bready flavors of this beer's caramel malts. The result is a fiendishly smooth brew that will make your taste buds scream with delight.

This beer pairs excellently with toffee, caramel apples, or your favorite horror flick.

Evil Dead impresses on first pour. Very deep amber color and a sturdy off-white head that laces the glass nicely. Nice flavor duality-- strong malt presence as you would expect from an amber, but also a supporting hop bite. Bready and resinous, a definite add for your Halloween festivities.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 8/25/22, so 2 months old.

Looks excellent in the glass. Deep reddish body with a strong off white head. This persists in good form throughout leaving thick rings of lacing.

Sweet malty aroma.

On tasting, the hops come through stronger than the nose would suggest. Solid malt backbone, some pine and spice notes.

Mouth fill, finish robust malty hoppy mix with a peppery feel.

Overall, very good brew for the season. As Ash would say, "groovy!".

Poured from 16oz can. A fairly balanced brew. It is hoppy but there is also plenty of malty sweetness, perhaps too much malt influence. Bitterness is low to moderate. Definitely will not punish the palate. Great body and carbonation

Had on tap. Murky dark amber body with a tan head. Smells of west coast citrus and piney hops with toasted caramel malt. Taste has more of a general sweet red malt that play well with the grapefruit and orange from the hops, finish is piney with a touch of earth. Feel is well balanced with a pleasant lean toward hops, medium and fuller body, just a well down amber. Happy early Halloween!
