Raven's dominant malt character is a balance between juicy pale ale malt and a biscuity, toasty malt flavour, this gives way to a clean spicy orange bitterness.
This pale copper IPA has intense citrus and piney aromas, tropical fruit then spicy flavours, lasting zesty mouth watering bitterness. Hops: Cascade, Ekuanot and Simcoe.
This dark, complex and satisfying beer is based on a 1750s porter recipe, with a distinctive blend of roast malts and chocolate, a dominating fruit flavour and hints of liquorice.
A perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours. This creates an amber ale which is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.
A full-bodied, very distinctive beer with a bitter-sweet aftertaste.
A traditional style of ale typical of the East of Scotland. A superb classic with a deep copper hue and light bronze creamy foam. 80/- is brewed using Belhaven yeast and allowed to ferment at a slightly higher temperature. This delivers satisfying malt flavours and layers of soft fruit with a toffee finish.
Hard to categorise as a stout or old ale. Sweetish roast malt taste leads to a long lasting roasted, slightly bitter finish. Rich fruity nose balanced by flavours of chocolate, dried fruit and figs.
