Troubadour Obscura is a mild dark red-brown beer with a balanced Belgian twist. Immediately after the first sip of this beer, the difference with other Belgian dark beers becomes apparent. The solid taste of malt originates from the combination of four different malts used in the brewing of this beer. Discover all the different notes: chocolate, coffee, vanilla…

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a murky dark brown/maroon colour with a medium sized creamy beige head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, chocolate, caramel, brown bread and brown sugar. Taste has the same notes as the aroma with some added roasty coffee notes. Very faint notes of liquorice. Medium bodied. Nice fairly long roasty and also sweet finish. Good beer

Bottle at Quinns. Dark brown, almost black colour with big fluffy beige creamy head. Not a big aroma, bit of rich chocolate creaminess. Taste is very biscuit malty, touch of bitterness at the end. Bit of milkiness, bit of chocolate. Slightly herbal. Nice. Smooth in the smooth.

Bottle: Caramel and coffee aroma. Sweet with roasted malt, apple, coffee and plum. A bit thin with some alcohol. Odd mix of a sweet stout and an imperial stout. Tap: Cafe Morshuis Albergen. Mocha aroma and flavor. Roasted malt, grapes. Mon Cheri cherry chocolates. Very good!

33cl bottle on 4th July 2019, sat outside De Zandloper, Brugge. Not the best idea on a warm sunny afternoon maybe, but it helped me sleep later! Poured a lovely rich dark colour, off-white/beige topping. Malty from start to finish with chocolate notes to the fore in both the aroma and taste. Can't believe I hadn't rated it (which is the real reason I tried it in the sun and not in front of a roaring fire in winter).

Bottle. Pours a dark nut brown colour with a big beige head. Aroma of raisins, brent sukker, spices, forest floor, rye bread and leather. Malty flavour with rye bread, raisin, caramel, licorice and some coffee and roasted malt in the end. Has a slick mouth feel, medium to full body, and a light bitterness. Well-balanced, sweet and lightly roasted.
