Can from the brewery.
A: clear golden, small, white head.
A: pear, apple peel, bread crust, yeast, cereal.
T: sweetish pear, cereal, bitter yeast, sourish citrus.
F: bitter grassy hops, yeast & grain.

Technically fine; it seems like the straightforward styles (if executed without superfluities) suit the modern Musketeers better.

First of all, I love the name of this beer. Obscura indeed. It has a powerful aroma of roasted malts, dark bread, raisins, coffee, caramel and dark chocolate. Medium sweet and creamy. A tasty stout-like Belgian Strong Ale!
