This Halloween, we’re celebrating three iconic horror films from the 1980s with a trio of terrifyingly delicious brews.

Enter Here’s Johnny, a marshmallow pastry sour that delivers a devilishly delightful blend of juicy cherries, tropical guava, and velvety vanilla. One sip, and you’ll understand why someone might say, “I’d give my goddamned soul for just a glass of beer.”

440ml can. Poured a murky purple colour with a short-lived, fizzy off-white head. The aroma is big cherry. The flavour is moderate sour, light sweet, with a crisp, tart cherry acidic guava, light sugary marshmallow palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

440ml can as a gift, I think possibly from HoTM in York. Drunk at home. Slightly light red but not quite pink, hazy with a large pinkish white head. Sugary aroma, cherry jam, guava paste, cake frosting. Taste is sweet with a bucket load of vanilla, lots of sweet guava, some stone fruit. Sourness kicks in for a lovely balance. Medium to thick body, carbonation on the soft side. Very nice!

Red beer, thin white head. Light tart fruit aroma. Mellow, sweet and slightly sharp with berries and rhubarb. Drinkable but not super exciting.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours reddish pink, rather hazy and opaque, with fine pinkish foam. Aroma is of cherries and vanilla. Body is average, with scarce carbonation. Very smooth, velvety body. Taste is delicately sour, with a good dose of sweetness as well. Final is fairly dry.
