Name: Blackened Voodoo
Brewer: Dixie Brewing Co. (New Orleans, LA)
Classification: Schwarzbier
Alcohol: 5%
Thoughts: Well, tonight is the BCS National Championship game between LSU and Alabama. The game is being played in New Orleans at the Superdome. So I decided to celebrate by having a beer from New Orleans. For this I chose Dixie's Blackened Voodoo Lager. OK, I can't lie anymore. This was a total coincidence, but it looked plan. This "Blackened" brew pours a very dark brown, not black, with a thin, highly carbonated head. The smell is lacking, but malts are present and their is a tinge of smoke there too. The taste brings more to the table, but it isn't all that great either. This Schwarzbier is heavy on nutty malts with very little sweetness. There is a little tartness and dryness that actually make the aftertaste interesting. However, there is just not enough there to make this beer worth trying again. If I was in New Orleans I would recommend it, but that is about the only time it may be worth it.
Rating: 78/100
