Dixie - Blackened Voodoo

We now travel down south (central south..?) to New Orleans to visit the Dixie Brewing Company to drink the Blackened Voodoo Lager purchased at Vintage Estates.


"Inspired by old-world brewing methods, this bewitching all-malt brew is a darkly rich, exotic lager, crafter with a touch of magical New Orleans spirit. The century-old Dixie Brewery was almost destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, but restoration is underway. With the help of our friends, we're working hard to re-beer New Orleans and the rest of the country." It is 5% ABV.

Overall average rating: 6.5/10

This beer is a translucent, dark coppery red color with a quickly diminishing slightly off-white head. The aroma is primarily a roasted rich malt with a light hop scent. We also get caramel and molasses essences. The taste has a strong side tongue bite with a slight front tongue bite. There is a slight caramel sweetneess, and the hops are balanced (light and thin). There is a molasses after taste lingering on the back of the tongue.

Shawn- This has a good drinkability, though it isn't terribly memorable. The flavors don't hit a crescendo, 6.5/10.
Angela- It is not amazing, but it has decent flavors, 6.5/10.
Chris- It says it's a lager, but it reminds me of an amber. It doesn't define the style, but I would drink this again, 6.5/10.
