The Stout at the Devil label features a demonic rendition of a musician with red skin, horns and studded leather, clutching a microphone. The beer’s name is a play on the song by metal band Motley Crue, “Shout at the Devil,” which appears on the album of the same name.

“Brewed with sea salt and caramel toffee, this dark and robust oatmeal stout from Straight to Ale kicks in at 7.8% and will definitely make you want to shout. Appropriately, this concoction’s name is a play on the Motley Crüe tune ‘Shout at the Devil.'”
