Description
In mythology, literature and many cultures, the Raven is seen as a culture hero, a revered and benevolent, transformative figure. The Raven helps people, blesses them with gifts and shapes the world. But at the same time, he is a frivolous trickster, a light-hearted prankster who is sometime gluttonous and impatient. The Raven as our totem works perfectly. We like to think we are creative, wise, playful and a bit bird-brained; just like those wacky Ravens.

On tap at Black Raven, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very dry and dull, with dry cereal notes. Flavour is dry, with dry cereal and crackery malt. Bone dry and drinkable, but pretty boring.

Slightly hazy light bronze, bubbly head, a bit spicy/weedy in the nose, earthy mushroomy and bitter, with a bit herbal, maybe some sweetness, bitter stale hop finish.

Bottle from Bottleworks, Seattle; 8.9% ABV
Hazy golden color with compact head. Caramel and resiny hops aroma, mild, a bit dusty. Good body strength, but lean mouthfeel; strong caramel and toffee flavor with strong resiny hops, a touch of peanuts, some hop fruitiness. Some alcohol.
Not extremely fresh, but a good beer anyway.

22oz bomber c/o Elise split with Anndiesel. Filtered orange-tan body. Foamy, glass lacing white head. Clean and lovely IIPA. Lots of hop depth, as you might expect looking at the hop bill. The English malt sort of shows, and gives it some added chewiness, heft. Juicy tangerine, orange, pink grapefruit. Pretty solid IIPA.

LImited release bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours very dark brown with a foamy beige head. Aroma of chocolate and dark malt. Flavor is something that seems to be coconut with chocolate and dark malt. Making me think of a Mounds bar. Fairly dry. Not very bitter. Decent drink.

1st rating!!! Black bod, brown head. Aroma is minerally chocolate syrup. A lightness to the chocolate. Its essence of chocolate, not cocoa, and not wild. Seems like not a lot of flavor is retained. Slightly over carbonated mothfeel. The tingles go with the effervescent chocolate feel. Like chocolate soda, would never think its 10. I’d drink this if I wanted chocolate soda with alcohol.
