Don’t spend this Single Awareness Day alone – grab a beer! This red-blooded cousin of Evil Dead Red Ale, our Halloween Brew, is a beautiful crimson color. Notes of caramel, toast, and bittersweet chocolate balance an intense bouquet of floral hop aromas that we know you’ll fall in love with. The finish leaves a pleasant, full-bodied sweetness on the palate that won’t spread angry rumors about you to all your friends like that one time when I was…ohh…uhh…Happy Valentine’s Day!

I don't really taste much chocolate or caramel. It's most just floral and some bitterness. I was hoping for more of the chocolate notes, as you don't see that much in ales. The floral aspect is nice. though.

Appearance – One finger head on a hazy orange-red body.
Aroma – Grapes, apples, some floral hops, a little bit of citrus.
Taste – Caramel, fruity apples and pears, slightly sweet, pine and floral hops in the aftertaste. Somewhat bitter.
Mouthfeel – Good body, a little sticky, pretty decent.
Overall – Very good for an amber/red ale, one of the better ones.
