One of the worst experiments I've ever made but the label came out ok.

Candy Corn Beer Label

If there's any truth in advertising, I'd expect halucinations after two bottles! 
I like the label (Halloween is my favourite holiday). It's quite a graphic. Are there about 10 different layers in there?

Glad you like it. Was designed in Illustrator with several layers but I didn't count. The beer won't make you hallucinate but it is 6%. To be honest, the whole thing was a total science experiment just to see what would happen. I basically dissolved several bags of candy corn with minimal hop additions then fermented w/lager yeast.
That sounds either vile or the greatest thing on the planet (I love candy corn).
How did it turn out?
I love candy and candycorn, but I'd think that the particular CHEMICAL sweetness that always had me eating "one more" may be strange when dissolved and diluted.
How WAS it? Any worse than CoorsxMountainDew?

I wouldn't put it at "vile" but it's not an award winner either. But it did inspire a recipe for next year. Want to brew the candy corn flavor using malts.

thinking some caramel and honey malts.
That label is a stroke of genius, especially the flask with the candy corn colors.
Last fall I was also considering using candy corn in beer but only as an addition. Using the honey and caramel malts sounds like it would produce some tasty results.
