Yakima Raven by Liberty Brewing is a captivating India Black Ale that blends the best of both worlds. Pouring a deep, opaque black with a creamy tan head, this beer presents an intense and complex aroma.

The rich, malty sweetness of the roasted malt backbone is complemented by delectable notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and caramel. The hops add a citrusy and piney bitterness, creating a harmonious and satisfying taste experience. The mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied, with a velvety and creamy texture. The moderate carbonation provides a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience. The finish is long-lasting, with a slightly bitter and roasted aftertaste that is well-balanced and not overwhelming. At 6.0% ABV, Yakima Raven is an exceptional India Black Ale that showcases the brewing expertise of Liberty Brewing. It's a must-try for fans of bold, complex beers that seamlessly blend the characteristics of an IPA and a stout.
