Troubadour Westkust is a dark, almost black tasting beer with notes of hop, roasted malt, coffee and subtle hints of chocolate and vanilla. The taste is a balance between roasted malt and coffee followed by a strong but pleasant bitterness that slowly becomes more persistent and creates a long hoppy aftertaste.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 15.11.15. Ebony. Pale brown head and lacing. Aroma and taste of dark malt, roasted barley, chocolate, pine, dark syrup and tobacco. Quite dry. Scaringly high drinkability.

Flaske, delt med Ovesen mens vørteren kjølner: brunsvart med tett beige skum som varer. Nydelig aroma av brente mandler, rosiner, mørk dessertsjokolade og fuktig granskog. Fyldig, cremet munnfylde og smak med de samme elementer. Nydelig. Overraskende lett å helle over drøvelen - her gjelder det å være forsiktig!

Marrón oscura, opaca, abundante espuma cremosa beige. Buen aspecto. Aroma no muy intenso pero complejo. Tostado, licor, chocolate, anís. En boca, buen cuerpo, potente, alcohol bien presente sin exagerar. Tono seco y algo ahumada. Sabor rico, y complejo también. Café, vainilla, chocolate, algo de fruta roja. Amargor potente. Final rico, bien amargo y calórico. Tal vez más cercana a una imperial stout.

28/07/2015 @Centerpars Meerdal, 33cl bottle from a gift. Black colour with small head. Much coffee in nose & taste, some caramel, hops. Bitter ending. Just a bit too high on coffee for me, I would’ve loved more hops taste.

Bottle split at the Tropical Croydonia tasting on melt day, big thanks to Fergus for sourcing this one, 01/07/15. Mahogany brown with a decent beige covering that retains well. Nose is earthy hop, dark berry fruit, toffee, charr. Taste comprises pine, bitter tropicana, light roast, charr, dark fruit peel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Decent enough XDA, drinks below the ABV offered.
