The dark roasted malt gives a tawny brown color to this Louisiana ale. Both spice and fruit dance in the background. Dixie Blackened Voodoo pours to a very dark brown color with a medium creamy tan-head and a subtle roasty nose. The palate is soft with good malt body and high drinkability, a tad creamy with a hint of chocolate and a mild roasted character that is not overly bitter. The beer is very clean and lacking esters, as is proper for the style. The finish is balanced with a slight roasty-bitterness emerging at the end. A wonderful beer that easily pairs with many foods, I enjoyed it tonight with spicy blackened chicken, red beans and rice and fried okra.
