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.

Can from Tavour. Pours darkest brown with brown head that fades to a collar. Aroma is dominated by roasted coffee and chocolate. Sweetness from the caramel. Flavor leans into the roast and cold pressed coffee. Moderate high bitterness.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Black pour, thick brown head settled out to a small creamy cap. Rich roasty malt aroma, notes of chocolate. Taste is bittersweet, roasty, dark chocolate, coffee. Nothing fancy here, a simple stout done very well.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of coffee, chocolate, caramel, wet stone, dark bread, herbal hops. Pours inky black with a half finger tan head that falls into a ring somewhat quickly. Taste is mildly sweet and highly bitter for style--like good black coffee. Nice velvety mouthfeel. Great and welcoming in that there's significant bitterness here, and just enough sweetness to prevent acridity. I've had enough sickly sweet sugary stouts recently to last me a lifetime. This is a nice change of pace.

Roast and some coconut. Some caramel. Dark brown pour with decent head. Bittersweet finish with tangy cloying aftertaste that lingers a little long. Can.

16oz can hazy light peach and white head. Lots of peach aromas. Soft mellow fruity hop flavors and a decent peach character. Unfiltered full palate.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of Smarties, peach, bread, matchsticks, dirty socks. Pours hazy golden with chunks of floaties and a two finger soapy off-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate bitterness, finishing dry, with faintly peachy flavors. Has a thin, watery mouthfeel. I wish the peach came through stronger. Kind of bland overall.
