750ml bottle pours a murky dark brown with some beige head. Nose has dates and bananas and wheat and some cocoa. Flavor is sweet, dates, raisins, cocoa, some marzipan, some clove. Finishes creamy. Drinks easy.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-dark amber close to brown sort of color with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Slight lace.
The aroma had some rum, fruity sweet woodiness, light honey, some vanilla, freshly cut grass, some clove, light lemon and ended with some dark bread.
The flavor was moderately sweet and dry with some of the rum and dark bread taking precedence. Super light on the spicy clove. The aftertaste was a somewhat rum, sweet wood and dark bread. Finish was mainly the rum and sweet wood.
The palate was semi-dry with a touch of the woody sweet booziness coming along to apply just a touch of acceptable \"heat\" to play with the body which was about medium. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty nice Belgian strong dark ale.

Draught at Row 34, 11/18/15.
Goldenrod-tinted dull brass with some light amber highlights and a beige head that sits at cover. Good clarity.
Fruity, warming and phenolic, as advertised, the rum-tinged caramel is very prominent, though is nicely softened by a vanilla-tinged honey character. Clove-like phenolics build with warming and breathing and while the alcohol never becomes problematic, and indeed actually helps add to both the aroma and flavor complexity, this anise/clove-like phenol really does become dominant/problematic.
Moreso in the flavor, than the aroma, as it just adds a lot of unwanted dryness/astringency in conjunction with the alcohol. Still, the malt flavors are wonderfully developed, as always from Schilling, with a supple, tightly carbonated texture. Vanilla, dry toffee, buttercream and, sadly, lots of clove.

750 ml bottle, provided by Adam from the brewer a Schilling, awesome. Thanks for the opportunity! Aroma is almost like a spiced cola. Sugar, and a mild spicy yeast. Interesting.

The flavor is nearly a Abby Dubbel like profile, massive malt and hast profile. Caramel, light roast, pumpernickel bread. Total reminds me of a Dubbel. Nice, easy to drink.

Poured from bottle thanks AdamChandler for the Ratebeer Farmhouse Magnum Tasting. Pours red brown with an off white head. Aroma of caramel and fruit. Taste is sweet with notes of caramel and malt.

Light brown a big bubbly 1 finger head that faded fast. Lots of dark fruits in this one, some caramel and grassy notes as well. Licorice taste, some red vines and other darker candies. I do like the leathery almsot doughy taste but the finish stops pretty short and doesn’t leave much lingering.
