Troubadour Obscura is definitely one of the most liked beer in the world. There is no wonder why it is always present on different beer reviews. Troubadour Obscura comes in a very pretty 750ml corked wine bottle. Two things attracted me to this beer; first, I had read great things about Troubadour’s beers, and second was the name Obscura; something about it just sounded menacing and wicked considering it is one of the best light beers in the world.
It is definitely one of the best light beers you would go crazy just to taste it. This beer made from Belgium is famous throughout the globe because of its pretty dark color and mild taste. The flavor of it is deeper, richer and more pronounced: clearly roasted and malty. It is one of the best light beers also because of its “deceptive factor”, wherein it has high alcohol content but it is not immediately felt except maybe for some slight glowing sensation. Majority of all beer review agrees that its aftertaste, with some licorice undertones, and a pleasant bitterness survives last. This is as well described by Troubadour as “Pleasantly bitter with a perfect combination of roasted malts, chocolate and spicy malt flavors”. Troubadour Obscura has the balance of smooth and wild flavors that you are looking on the best light beers. The spice factor gives it away a bit towards the wild side, but spice can still be very smooth.
The pour was pretty standard; nothing to creamy, nothing to crazy. But the end result was rich and filled with character. The beer was the deepest shade of brown mirroring on black with burgundy and dark purple beams of light. Actually, when I held it into the light it showed a lot of ruby red and golds. The head with lush and pillowy with a thick airy structure. It got up about 2 inches above the beer and just rested a creamy almond nutty brown.
Bring the Troubadour Obscura close to your mouth and breathe in as you let it flow into your mouth. I was expecting roast and chocolate off the bat, but it’s the Belgian boys that take the first set. Round and juicy flavors of dark malts, dried fruits, plums and pears show up with again, the boozy, brandy like sweetness. These are the aromas that you would put this beer on the list of best light beers you would ever taste. Spice and hints of lemon pepper, clove and cinnamon are not potent, but easily noticeable.
As I end this beer review, I am telling this beer is recommended mostly as a part of your dinner. The pronounced taste makes it an ideal match for dishes with strong tasting sauces. Let it fight with the taste, and I know it will be a sure win! Some will enjoy this beer as their last beer of the day or as dessert. This beer is truly a good thing, good feel light beer. So you there, go ahead and try it! It is truly a one of a class light beer.
