We present a spectral study of the black hole candidate XTE J1908+094 during its 2013-2014 outburst. We analyzed 36 Swift/XRT observations together with a NuSTAR observation taken along this period. The outburst evolution is similar to what is previously observed in other black hole transients. The source transited from an initial low/hard state to a high/soft state and then went back to the low/hard state. The low/hard-state spectra are dominated by a hard component, while the high/soft-state spectra are dominated by a soft component. In the high/soft state, we find that the disk bolometric luminosity deviates weakly from the standard dependence, exhibiting a flatter dependence as The radial temperature profile is found to be flatter than that of the standard accretion disk. These results suggest an advection-dominated slim disk. During the NuSTAR observation, the source was in the high/soft state. A flare is seen in the NuSTAR light curves. During the flare, a spectral softening occurs with an increase in power-law flux. We suggest that the flare may be associated with the relativistic jets. A broad Fe Kα line and a disk reflection component are observed in the spectra, providing an opportunity to measure the black hole spin via the Fe-line method. We have fitted the NuSTAR spectra with different relativistically blurred disk reflection models. However, the data do not allow us to constrain the spin of the black hole.
