Commercial Description:
The Reverend, was created in tribute to the life of Sales Mgr. Tom Boogaard's grandfather, an ordained Episcopal Reverend. Tom was inspired by the life of his grandfather and wanted to create a tribute beer that contained his sterling traits. True to both our "small brewery, BIG BEERS" philosophy and to the spirit and character of the departed Reverend, this beer is strong willed, assertive, and pure of heart, a heart of candy sugar. It contains as many authentic imported Belgian specialty malts as the brewers could cram into our mash tun, and lots of Belgian dark candy sugar stirred into the brew kettle. A divinely complex and beautifully layered beer with hints of dark cherries, currants, and molasses, complimented by an underlying spiciness. Sinfully smooth considering the high alcohol content. Cellarable for 4 years.

Bottle. Poured a hazy dark orange with little to no head. Aroma is dark fruits, sweet malts, and belgian yeast. Notes of candied sugar, cherry, and molasses come out. On the palate, it is thick. The flavor really brings out a stong alcohol character. It finishes very sweet, leaving a nice alcohol burn. I was not too impressed with this beer, but it was very different.

Botle at Trappeze. Poured an amber orangish color. Aroma of dark and sweet fruit, candy sugar, spice. Taste is similar with lots of fruit, sweet malt, candy sugar, mild spice, kind of like a festive ale. Mouth is coating, syrupy. Finish is warming and sweet. Overall, a decent fruity and spicey ale.

22 ounce bottle from College Liquors. Pours a fairly clear amber color with a thick beige head that goes down. A sweet aroma of candies, yeast, some hops, spices and syrupy fruit. The taste is like a rich spicy Christmas beer, but with some hops, sweet candies, warmth, candied plums. Overall, sweet but hops give some balance. Hot and nice.

Poured a ruby/orange from the 22oz. bottle: Aroma of sugar and some cough syrup, flavors of ginger and other spices, such as cinnamon. A kick of alcohol in the finish. Some yeast notes throughout. **The alcohol’s definitely present, but with more siggs the ale quickly becomes a fairly delicious, citrusy, fruity, spicy beer. Drinkability: Sugary sweet, yet well balanced. Rebuy: Yes. #138 on 12102009, DG.
