A unique craft beer based on five different malts for a strong base, where El Dorado and Mosaic hops add an unmistakable character and identity, giving Slayer 666 Red Ale a perfect balance. Red ale is characterized by a deep copper color, often with a deep reddish hue and a malty sweetness. Most are in balance between malt and hops but Red ales in the American style can have a medium to high bitterness and a big hop aroma.

Working with head brewer Patrick Holmqvist, the band now offers a unique, high-quality red ale that packs a potent punch, much in the way as does the band’s repertoire of albums. “The Slayer wine we had was really good and did really well, so this sounded interesting to us,” said Slayer’s Tom Araya. " When we were first approached about the idea for a beer, my concern was that it had to taste good! We really like the way that Patrick works; he’s dedicated, has a lot of integrity and really cares about making a high-quality product. He didn’t disappoint, the Ale taste great! We hope our fans will enjoy Slayer’s Red Ale."

Patrick Holmqvist, Head Brewer at The Nils Oscar Company AB says: – Anyone who knows me will realise what a huge compliment it is to be brewing a beer for Slayer. Since the early days of Reign in Blood via Diabolicus in Musica to modern releases as World Painted Blood, I have always loved the ground breaking music. With the Slayer 666 Red Ale, I have tried to compile all those hours of listening into one great beer.

330ml bottle from Saveur-Biere.fr. Pours a deep reddish-brown. Aroma is malt and berries. Taste is dark but fruity, very much a Red Ale with a good balance between the caramel and berry fruit, and not as novelty as I imagined. Very nice.

Flaska från kompis, tack Langis! Mörkt kopparröd färg med kaffefärgat tjockt skum. Svag, riktigt svag brödig doft. Lätt smak av fänkål. Sedan dyker en mer balanserad fruktig smak upp. Saknar dock inledande bett av lätt bränd karamell, som kan vara så god i en amber. Neutral och ganska slät beska.

On tap at Ölbryggan. Clear amber with a white head. Aroma of some hops, caramel, malt and fruit. Similar taste. The body was around medium and the finish on the dry side. An ok one.
