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, 330 ml from MBR, Zagreb. Pours dark brown with beige head. Roasted malts, caramel, chocolate, dried fruits, light to moderate hoppy bitter finish. Had an acidic note which I don’t think should be there - could be bad bottle.

33cl bottle from some bottle shop in Belgia. Pours slightly hazy dark brow with a rather modest light beige head. Aroma of roasted malt with licorice, notes of coffee and lots of hops with pine being the most dominating, some fruitiness present too. Medium sweet with a nice mixture of roasty and hoppy flavours and a decent, but balanced bitterness. Medium to full body with carbonation slightly on the lively side. Tasty and dangerously drinkable.

A very dark brown beer with a medium and beige head. Aroma has strong liquirice, also salt liquirice, some dark fruits and pine. Also some unique and hardly described notes of marshmellow and overriped fruits. Taste has liquirice, some roastiness, salt, also fresh fruityness, medium bitterness that’s nicely increasing in the end to the slightly piney. Medium bodied, medium carbonation. Very good and slightly unique black IPA, the powerful and tasteful liquirice is just great.

Bottle from Voldby, shared with Niller - very dark brown verging black coloured pour with a generous tan coloured head. Aroma and taste comprises roasted malts and and some tropical fruity notes of grapefruit, great grassy and piney hoppy character, some chocolate, coffee, caramel, all comes together very nicely. Gorgeous.

Bottle from Hippo Beers. Dark brown body with a large beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of Coca-Cola, coffee grounds, fig and Marmite. Flavour of earthy hops, raisin, pine and plum. Quite boozy. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. An unusual, tasty beer.

Hazy dark brown with a decent beige head. Aroma is chocolate and roasted malt with some herbal hops. Taste similar, sweet caramel and lots of chocolate to roasted coffee/charcoal and a bitter dry spicy herbal finish with maybe a touch of pine. Bit of alcohol heat. Medium to full bodied. Not as strong in the hops and bitterness as some BIPAs but still very nice.
