Bottled (as The Raven, Haus der 131 Biere product). Copperish amber coloured, mediumsized beige head. Skunked hops and unclean malts in aroma. Flavour is cooked vegetables, malts and very weakly caramellish in the background. 3 4 3 2 6
Cask@GBBF2011. Deep honeyish golden colour with a mediumsized beige head that leaves some lace. Aroma is fruits, mild wooden notes, quite grassy and malty notes as well. Flavour is rather similar in a very nice balance. 6 4 6 3 12.

Malzig-süßlicher Antrunk. Das künstlich wirkende säuerliche Aroma verdirebt den Mittelteil, ist aber im Abgang so gut wie nicht mehr zu schmecken. Aber auch sonst ist es dort ziemlich wässrig, lediglich eine leichte Malzigkeit ist erkennbar. Süffig, aber langweilig und durch die säuerliche Einheit nicht gerade schmackhaft. Test vom 18.6.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,7,9,5,4,6 - 6,35

Bottle (the label says, that this beer is brewed under licence by the Anker Brauerei Nagold): Amber coloured, huge fluffy, lasting head; very fruity, a bit vinous nose (a bit "Red"-like !); fruity and a bit tart flavour; shy bitter-fruity finish; quaffable; good start, mediocre finish......

(Bottle 33 cl) In my version this is called "The Raven Christmas-Beer" but I believe it’s the same beer. Brewed in Germany by Anker Brauerei in Nagold. And strangely this was brewed in Germany before the US version came on the market. Dark golden with a nice, frothy head. Malty body, aromatic hops that also leaves a good amount of bitterness. 261299 (Bottle 33 cl) Version simply called "The Raven", brewed in Germany by Anker Brauerei in Nagold. I believe it’s the same as the above. 6/3/6/3/12=3 061200

An unclear red beer with a very bubbly beige head - beutiful at first, but fast disappearing. The aroma is nicely sweet dominated by malt and yeast. The flavor is also sweet and malty from a good malt blend with yeast notes combined with oranges in the middle befor it ends on a nice fruity hoppy note. In the middle the palate is a little thin, but in the end it picks up.
