Alluring Aroma: Nectarous orange marmalade, tropical passionfruit, and herbal sweetgrass swell from the thick, cloudy pour. Frisky Flavor: Waves of candied grapefruit peel, ripe honeydew melon, and pine sprigs crash into the palate. Plush Mouthfeel: The hefty addition of oats make the mouthfeel thick, creamy, and absolutely luscious.

The Long Island horror-mongers at Nightmare created a citrus-filled hazebomb that might rip your face off with its boozy 9.6% ABV bite...literally.

That’s because today’s Flayed Imperial Oat IPA is named after, well...lightly put...skinning someone alive.

It’s a name that only the macabre masters at Nightmare could pull off with style. With huge flavors and personality in every one of their brews, these craft fiends are quickly becoming some of our favorite phantom brewers!

Their earthshaking 4.18 Untappd brewery rating puts them in the league of legends like Holy Mountain, Toppling Goliath, and fellow metalheads, Adroit Theory.

Not to mention the last DIPA we managed to wrangle away from their mosh pit of thirsty fans sold out within 48 hours and earned a massive 4.32 rating from the Tavour community! 

And today’s murky pour proves they can throw haze with the best New England breweries.

Invite all of your juicehead friends over to experience this beautiful Nightmare, but be careful — once they get a sip of Flayed’s ripping flavors and masterfully disguised ABV, they may never want to wake up.
