Troubadour Imperial Stout is a real Imperial Stout, but with a Belgian twist. The beer is almost black and has a solid crème coloured head. It is a powerful beer with strong roasted fragrances. You can taste notes of chocolate, toffee and coffee, followed by a bitter aftertaste.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with super large dirty brown foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of light roasted malt with light sweet notes and a Belgian yeast finish. Taste is dominated by medium dry roasted malt notes with light sweet notes and with some black chocolate notes with a fruity Belgian yeast finish. Body is bit light for style with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not enough complexity for the style.

The beer poured almost black and clear. Its head was large, layered and light brown. Aroma had roasted malts, sweetness, aniseed and belgian style yeast. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, hops, sweetness, aniseed and bitterness. Aftertaste was ashy, hoppy and bitter. Quite clean Belgian imperial stout and a nice one, too

Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier; cap number 0605120222
Very dark color, almost black; it has a frothy large head, persistent. Mild aroma of roasted malts, and mild hops. Good flavor of dark caramel, mild roasted malt, dark chocolate, with good hops and correct bitterness. In the final, there is some spicy yeast.
It’s a good dark Belgian beer with a little extra roastiness and hops.

Notes de levures fruitées (raisins, traces de prunes) et de chocolat au lait (faibles notes lactiques) et accompagné de notes de bois fumé et de traces de réglisse noire lors de l’entrée en bouche et qui laisse rapidement place à un goût de malt assez rôti ainsi qu’un moyen goût de pain grillé et de chocolat noir et quelques notes de caramel brûlé. Parallèlement, un léger goût de café ainsi qu’une légère amertume de houblon herbeux se développe progressivement jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen-long et aux notes asséchantes, moyennement amer de rôti, moyen de chocolat noir avec des notes de café et de houblon herbeux ainsi que quelques traces d’alcool et de fruits (pelures de prunes).

750ml bottle. Clear, red glowing brown colour with huge, firm, frothy to creamy, lacing, off-white head. Dark malty aroma has notes of roast, a minimally grassy hop touch, yeasty overtones. Taste is initially dry dark malty and slightly yeasty, later a moderately sweet dark malt basis gains ground; cappuccino and dry, earthy coffee notes in the finish.

75cl bottle. Brune, col épais crémeux/café au lait. Arôme est malté grillé + chocolat, bouquet bien belge avec ce profile léger de chocolat amer. En bouche, palais épais, chocolaté avec en retrait et fin de bouche une amertume houblonné qui vient rajouté ce léger côté agrumes citronné. Le tout conserve ce profile très belge, de part la levure mais aussi de part ce profile houblonné noble. Le tout présente aussi un léger côté fruité noirs de prune/date. Reste sec en fin de bouche sur une note de cuire et de grains chocolatés.
