Desire is not just the map of the road, but the road itself!
Horror films are set to scare and terrify the audience to invoke our primal responses in a cathartic experience between fear, repulsion and attraction.
In 1987, the English writer, film director and imaginer Clive Barker created his world famous masterpiece "Hellraiser" based on his own novella "The Hellbound Heart", first published in November 1986.
Hellraiser has become an iconic milestone of the modern horror fiction and collective imagery, exploring emotional regions that the contemporaneous slasher films were not capable to offer to the audience, where no dialogue exists between monster and the hopeless victim. In contrast, Barker displayed for the first time in Hellraiser deep dialogue scenes, where the monsters and humans talk about their conditions. The Evil is not abstract. The Evil can speak and its point of view can be made.
Combining punk, catholicism, body piercing and S&M imagery, enigmatic and supernatural characters were created in Barker’s imaginary called the Cenobites. These repulsive sadomasochistic yet glamorous entities can grant you the ultimate sensual experience, where the pleasure and pain are indivisible if you solve a musical puzzle box called the "Lemarchand Configuration", which opens the gateway to an extradimensional realm, where the Cenobites resides.
With this beer we want to pay homage to Clive Barker’s work and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of his inspiring Magnum Opus "Hellbound Heart / Hellraiser". Cenobite - Bourbon Red Ale will grant you the utterly sensual experience beyond the limits. It will tear your soul apart!

(Draught at Macken Fest, Fållan, Stockholm, 16 Sep 2022) Hazy amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty nose with caramel, red fruit, bourbon and oak wood. Malty taste with notes of caramel, treacle-toffee, bourbon, vanilla, oak wood and a gentle spicy bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Interesting, with a good bourbon wood character. Still in good balance. More malt and wood driven than hoppy. Nice one.

Bottle at Bishops Arms Sundbyberg. Hazy amber with a large head. Sweetish with caramel, bread, hints of bourbon and some fruit. The body was medium and the bitterness on the light side.
