Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Schwarzbier
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Had this a long time ago and barely even realized it was a Schwarzbier - though I guess the name is clever.

Pours a dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is roasted malt but not as deep as other schwarzbiers I’ve tried. A bit watery. Not bad all in all just not the best.

Bottle at Bayou in North bellmore. Decent, better than expected. The appearance is a deep red/brown, a little light for a schwarzbier. The aroma is chocolate, brown sugar, toasted malts. The flavor follows the aroma, chocolate, brown sugar, malts. The finish is astringent hop bitteing, maybe the slight taste of metal, but not bad. Medium mouthfeel. Decent overall.

Pours a reddish, dark-brown, cola color with a fair amount of light tan head. Aroma is mild, a little malty and lemony. Flavor is bright and citrus with a sweet maltiness and a hint of chocolate and smoke. I love this beer. The low ratings surprise me, but Voodoo strays from the Schwarzbier standard and is probably not a favorite of most hopheads. Oh well...more for me!

Bottle, has an almost see through brown-red pour with an off-white head, starts with a lot of bubbles when first poured than it slows to a faint effervescence, head is one to two fingers and falls to a cover and ring, this is not that dark for a Swarzbier, aromas of faint dry chocolate and coffee, some roasted malt, faint smoke or bunt malt fragrance, flavors of roasted malt, coffee, faint caramel, mouth feel is less than medium, so, a Dixie beer brewed in Wisconsin huh? After experiencing Sprecher’s Schwarz, it is hard to be satisfied by a lesser, this was a weak Schwarzbier, not bad just weak.

bottle. pleasantly surprised with this one. pretty good. pours a clear mahogany with a decent light tan head. notes of caramel, chocolate, coffee. very smooth. no off flavors. enjoyed it.

This was recommended by our waitress at the Taste of New Orleans restaurant. In the dells. It pours an orange amber with an inch or so of head. It looks like most munich lagers I’ve seen. The aroma is tough to pick up since they poured it into a frosty mug but I’m getting a bit of roast malt and caramel. The taste is malty with hints of chocolate and tang of fruit. It seems to wash down the amazing crab cakes I’m eating so the mouthfeel is getting a decent grade from me. I could see drinking this beer again although I’m not going to seek it out.

light brown pour with a small tan head. aroma of rosted malts and light sulfer compounds. i taste a little coffee on the finish .the body is light but i like that. not bad
