Draft pour at Ravenna. A mostly clear reddish purple pour with plenty of coating head and lacing. A sweaty aroma, with some grape and berries. Flavor is much of the same. Strange. But an improvement on the nose for me. Slightly tart berries, grapes. Black cherry? The tart seems to get more intense as this goes, and lingers. I can't say I'm a huge fan of this one, but it sure is different.

Draft pour at Ravenna. A dark brown pour with a moderate cream foam head. Some toasty vanilla flavor going on, but it seems to be a bit tart. Chocolate forward aroma, and quite sweet. After this warmed a bit, it seemed for focused on the advertised chocolate and vanilla headliners. A bit of a coffee like bitterness late. Decent porter, that could be great with a few tweaks in my opinion.

Draft pour at Ravenna. Always interesting to run into these disguised stouts. Some are more convincing than others. Golden orange, juicy pour. Toasty, coffee like aroma. Tasting this doesnt really give me much stout indication at all, if not, any. Has a moderate coffee to it. A sweet side to this. A strange fruit to it that pairs strangely with the coffee notes. This isn't all that bad, but I feel like it fell a bit short of what they were going for.

Draft pour at Ravenna, Seattle. Hazy golden pour with no head. Quite a strong feel for a farmhouse, but that’s just me. Belgian aroma, soft banana, floral, herbs. Flavor is very refreshing. Solid banana clove flavor. Lingering full flavor. Has a bite to it up front, and its clearly strong for the style. Flavorful, and good overall. Nice saison.

Draft pour at Ravenna, Seattle. Hazy golden orange in color, with almost no head. Very citrus fruit heavy aroma. Not even hops. Just the fruit. Very juicy. Cool grapefruit sweet flavor, with a bit of a watered down feel. Soft orange and mango. Melon. Very light feel. Too easy to drink, but it feels like.it’s missing a thing or two. Pretty good IPA here.

Draft pour at Ravenna, Seattle. I love these coffee roaster collaborations. It allows me to learn about coffee makers I’ve never heard of, then I find out its right down the street. Cool stuff. Pours black with a tan fizz head. Coffee bean aroma, 100%. Smells amazing. Flavor is a premium roast coffee, dark chocolate. A bitter black coffee finish. A little lighter in body for a stout in my opinion, but it doesn’t take away from this beers quality. A solid beer for all hours of the day. Delicious.

Draft pour, tasted at Ravenna, Seattle. Cloudy pale golden pour with a fadingfizz head. I love raspberry. A ton of red raspberry aroma. Flavor is more fruit than wheat, light, and refreshing. Nothing overpowering or off-putting. Ideal for a fruit infused wheat. I liked this one.

Draft pour, tasted at Ravenna, Seattle. A slightly hazy copper pour with a choppy foam head. Soft aroma of straw grains and Belgian yeast. Flavor has a soft floral element, underneath a sweet banana. Has a thick grain flavor, that’s dominant. Equal sweet and spice. Light, but flavorful. Cool, almost minty really late. Seems to get better as it goes. Decent stuff here.
