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.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours completely pitch black with a thick and lacing light brown head. Sweet and solid aroma of dark and bitter chocolate. Solid body, heavy dark roast, very bitter roastiness - perhaps a bit much. 161211

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a clear nutty brown with a rough off-white head. Heavy, sweet Bourbon aroma. Rather solid body, dark dried fruits combined with heavy Bourbon and syrup. Close to the legendary "Amager Hr. Papsø". 161211

On nitro tap at Brouwer's for Big Wood, pours black with a medium, smooth tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, light chocolate and light wood. Flavour is slightly less inviting, with toasted nuts, light barrels, slight sour notes, butter chocolate and bitter coffee. Very nice.

Bottle thanks to cquiroga. Pours with a deep brown body and a small tan head. Aromas of vanilla, a bit of spice, prunes, and a TON of roast. Ashy, chocolate (bitter), coffee, a bit astringent. Flavors are extremely roasty (overly so), a bit astringent, quite bitter, some chocolate, brown sugar and spicy notes. Medium to slightly fuller bodied, medium bubbles.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Hopfest, pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of intense pine, resin and tropical fruits. Flavour is intensely piney and resinous with boatloads of hops, with a beautiful accompaniment of tropical fruits and heaps of caramel to balance. Tons of fruity hops with lots of resin. Beautiful.
