The Raven "Special Lager"

Baltimore-Washington Beer Works brings to us a beer inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's the Raven. How? Not really sure.

The Raven though is a medium body lager that is very malty. After pouring it into my chilled mug, the beer opened up a bit, allowing the malts mellow. The beer then took on the notes of a cream soda.

Personally I think this beer could use more hops to give the beer some needed bitterness.

Overall this is a pretty ordinary beer. I enjoyed this with steak and chicken. The beer complimented the meats as the Raven is not sweet.

This is a nice lager and worth a try if you can find it. I am just left wondering if the taste of this beer is poetic!
