Commercial Description:
Imperial Evil Dead Red Ale (also known as Dead by Dawn)

Alesmith's Decadence Anniversary Ale was originally brewed in 2005 to celebrate our first decade in business. The brewers at Alesmith had such a great time concocting Decadence that they decided to make it an annual event, and brew a new style each year to commemorate our Anniversary. The second release in the Decadence series, Dead by Dawn, was inspired by our own seasonal specialty ale, Evil Dead Red. What if we made it bigger, bolder and even more evil? The result is Decadence 2006 Dead by Dawn, a devilicious auburn-colored ale with a complex sweet caramel maltiness balanced by the just the right amount of hop bitterness. Dead by Dawn showcases an enticing hop flavor and intense hop aroma that rounds out this rich, full-bodied ale. Join our Anniversary Celebration with Decadence. You'll soon discover why Alesmith is known around the world as the place to find Legendary Craftsmanship.

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with and orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of over ripe fruits as well as lesser notes of spices. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottled. Dark mahogany colour, creamy head. Aroma of burnt caramel. Sweet and full bodied with velvetty softness. Roasty and very malty with spun sugar and lots of toffee. Warming and vast in character.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours a slightly hazy, orangey brown with a dense, light brown head leaving some lacework. Fat aroma of overripe fruit and hops. Surprisingly this isn’t overly full-bodied. Intense aromas of raisins and overripe fruit and then classical accents of American aroma hops in the finish. Good but not outstanding. 280907
