Originally released a for the Chesterfield CAMRA festival. Renamed as Wild Raven in 2013 due to another beer going by the name "Raven" elsewhere The recipe for the brew came from James Kemp who used Maris Otter, Black Patent and Chocolate malt along with Nelson Sauvin, Centennial and Sorachi hops. The beerhas bitter ness and hop character and plenty of malt flavours to give it complexity.
