Raven Stout from Mitchell's Knysna Brewery
Rating: B+
Had this one at the Mitchell's pub on the waterfront in Cape Town - proud to be the first to review it:
Appearance: This one is as black as they come, completely opaque. Miniscule head that disappeared quickly, no lacing to speak of. Very striking appearance - "black as a raven's wing," true to advertising.
Smell: roasted malt, and a somewhat vegetative hop aroma
Taste: a well balanced sweet stout, hard to tell if more bitterness is being contributed by the dark malts or from the hops. That said, not very complex - a straightforward beer.
Mouthfeel & Drinkability: very smooth, full-bodied. good finish and aftertaste. This is a good session stout - not overdone in any way, you're not tired of it after one pint. Solid offering!
This was sampled at the Cape Town location on 5/31, review entered from notes.
Serving type: on-tap
