Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, spicy yeast, ripe fruits, hint of hops. Flavour is medium sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. I’d have liked to have tasted this fresh two years ago, but aging has turned this almost into a Barley Wine, which is not a bad thing.

Bottle 0,75ltr: Hazy orange coloured brew with an pretty bitter taste with hints of citrus fruits, sweet fruits and caramel.

Bottle@Pressklubben, Stockholm. Hazy amber colour with a big foamy white head, which leaves lace. Aroma is citrus, some nectar, mild wooden tones with some spices and sweet alcohol as well. Flavour is alcohol, some pear, caramel, citrus, nectar and mild spiciness as well as some slight herbs.

Bottle. Orange amber color. Malt, peach and soft grassy hops in the aroma. Medium to full bodied, slightly alcoholic. Clear hop character with grassy hops, peach and pineapple. Sweet, but a nice beer.

I seem to have missed out on the first special editions of Troubadour Magma so very happy now to taste this, thanks Stefan for sacrificing this bottle.. Very thick and frothy, creamy, egg-white head, cloudy orange blonde robe. Very attractive aroma - though undoubtedly the hop fragrance must have faded after some years of cellaring - with impressions of orange peel, papaja, wet hay, curry spices, cava, toasted bread, wet leather, chicken broth. Fruity onset, hints of papaja, mango and orange, soft carbo, full-bodied caramelly malt sweetness as in the regular version, yeasty spiciness on top, ending in an earthy, leafy, gently bittering, dried citrus peel-like hop bitterness overlying the ongoing malt sweetness. Too bad I never tasted this young, but even in this vintage form, this is a fantastic beer. The Troubadour range began very modestly but has achieved great things in the meantime, and I feel they are still a bit underestimated.

Bottle. Clear amber color, medium white head. Aroma of caramel, subtle grass. Taste is sweet caramel, light straw. More like a tripel than a DIPA.

750ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, amber colour with huge, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Hoppy aroma covers a wide range of fruity flavours, gooseberry, red berries, rhubarb, overripe peach, grapefruit, also a sweaty, resinous, cheesy touch, peppery, spicy hints of yeast. Taste is slightly sweet bready, yeasty, subtle hints of overripe yellow stone fruit, some toffee in the finish. Belgian elaborateness reconciles with a self-inflicted, supposable loss of hop freshness due to cellaring.

Draft @ Fermentoren, Copenhagen. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty dry hoppy aroma with weak hints of caramel. Sweetish malty spicy hoppy bitter flavor with yeasty hints. Has a sweetish malty spicy hoppy bitter finish.
