	Black Raven Beers
	Trickster IPA NABA 2009 Silver Medal - Strong Pale Ale category ABV: 6.8% IBU: 67 Malts: ESB, Munich, Crystal Hops: Chinook, Magnum, Simcoe, Amarillo, Cascade In mythology, the raven can play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules, hence the name Trickster. This well-balanced IPA has a nice, light fruit, citrus and piney hop aroma with a full hop flavor. With its balanced malt body and a 6.8% ABV, this beer has truly earned its name. -------------------------------------------------------------- Totem Northwest Pale NABA 2010 Silver Medal - American Pale Ale category ABV: 5.6% IBU: 37 Malts: ESB, Crystal Hops: Summit, Amarillo A totem is an entity that watches over and represents a clan or tribe. Totem pale represents us well with its bright citrus hop flavor. Featuring the new hop variety “Summit”, the first dwarf hop to be bred for production in the United States and currently the only hop being grown on low trellis in the Yakima Valley. With its ESB base malt and generous citrus hop additions, you too will want to make the Black Raven your totem. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sunthief Kristallweizen ABV: 4.6% IBU: 14 Malts: Pilsner, Wheat, Honey Hops: Magnum, German Hersbrucker In Pacific Northwest Native American culture, the raven was originally a white bird until he stole the sun from the gods and was turned black. The Sun Thief is a filtered German style wheat beer (Kristallweizen) that is rarely produced in the US. Light in color and alcohol, the Sun Thief features subtle banana and clove components layered onto a flavorful wheat and pilsner malt base. -------------------------------------------------------------- Tamerlane Brown Porter World Beer Cup 2010 Gold medal - Brown Porter category NABA 2010 Silver Medal - Brown Porter category ABV: 5.8% IBU: 35 Malts: ESB, Crystal, Brown, Chocolate Hops: Magnum, Palisades Edgar Allan Poe's (author of "The Raven") publishing career began humbly with an anonymous collection of poems, Tamerlane and other Poems (1827). The Brown Porter is the very first beer ever brewed at the Black Raven Brewery (formerly known as "Batch 1 Brown"). Featuring both the subtle nut flavors and easy drinkability of an English brown ale and hints of deeper coffee tones and the Northwest hop character of a porter. Quickly becoming a true local favorite. -------------------------------------------------------------- Morrighan Stout ABV: 4.4% IBU: 36 Malts: ESB, Crystal, Chocolate, Roast, Black Hops: Glacier, Goldings The Morrighan was a Celtic goddess of war that would sometimes take the form of a raven in battle. Our Morrighan takes the form of deliciousness in a glass instead. Brewed in the classic dry Irish stout style, this black brew delivers a punch of flavor without weighing you down. Starts with flavors of dark caramel, chocolate and light roast and then ends with a roasted coffee-like finish. Dispensed on nitro for a smooth and creamy pint. -------------------------------------------------------------- Second Sight Strong Scotch Ale NABA 2010 Bronze Medal - Strong Scotch Ale category ABV: 7.2% IBU: 38 Malts: ESB, Crystal, Special B, Chocolate Hops: Glacier, Mt Hood Ravens in the Scottish Highlands were once thought to possess the gift of second sight, the ability to see future events before they occur. If you are a fan of rich, malty ales then our raven foresees you loving this beer. This beer is built all around the malted barley with hops playing a balancing role. This beer is reddish-brown in color with a wonderful malt nose, delicious malt flavors and a full bodied finish.
	Specialty Beers
	Wisdom Seeker Double IPA ABV: 9.0% IBU: 85 Malt: ESB pale malt Hops: Nugget, Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe, Amarillo, Summit, Citra Folklore and mythology present the raven as an omniscient creature with special powers and abilities. The Wisdom Seeker Double IPA gets its special powers from an enormous amount of hops and malted barley. Brewed in the West coast Double IPA style, this bold brew features massive citrus and herbal hop additions and a full hop aroma. Seek your wisdom cautiously; this hop feast packs a punch. SOLD OUT - BREWED QUARTERLY -------------------------------------------------------------- La Petite Mort [Annual release on Bastille day each year] IBU: 36 ABV: 8.8% MALTS: ESB, Pale, Pilsner, Rye, Dark Crystal, Honey, Munich HOPS: Magnum, Styrian Goldings “La Petite Mort” means “a little death” in French. What’s a little death if it comes in this form? Well worth it we think. Released on July 14, 2009 Bastille day. This Belgian inspired strong abbey brown ale was brewed with a Belgian Ardennes yeast strain that imparts an aroma of cloves and a complex spiceyness. This is balanced by flavors of mild fruit and hints of earthy tobacco notes.
