Hello all and to all those feeling a connection tonight; I think I might have the answer for that feeling: Voodoo. Now before you go off and diminish this review because it deals Voodoo, a religion born of African diaspora, Catholicism, and Western African Vodun read up on the history of it, you’ll be surprised. Probably the most interesting character of New Orleans Voodoo was Marie Laveau, I suggest reading about her and what is known about her life. Okay enough history, lets talk really important things; beer being the chief one at this time. Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager is the beer that screams our to be drunk on Bourbon in the summer time. It really does, honest. The beer pours well with a slight head and good carbonation and gives off a nose of caramel malts, smoke and spices. The taste is complex on the front end of the sip of malts mixing with a smoky taste that dissipates with the carbonation to a typical lager finish of sweetness. This was my first foray into the world of Dixie beers and I mistakenly thought that all Dixie products were this good and complex but, alas, not really. They aren’t that bad but when compared to Bayou Teche or Abita, they pale in comparison. At least try this once if you haven’t, out side a sample, roll with what you like, it’s NOLA, who’s going to judge you?
