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.

I want to like this beer. Its color and aroma are great, but the flavor and palate are a complete let down. The finish (unless I got a bunk bottle) was almost sour in my mouth.

Sampled yesterday with BrotherBrando: Poured a dark but cloudy copper colour with a huge white head. Aroma had noticeable alcohol and fruity esters, wheat and caramel notes on the nose. Taste was pleasent, very rich, and creamy with brown sugar and plum notes. A little spice in the finish as well.

Bottle. Pours a red ruby color with a small, quickly disappearing head. Smells like sweet bread, with plums and yeast. Tastes of raisins, caaramel, burnt malts with a nice alcoholic bite. creamy and gently fizzy mouthfeel.

2008 Bottle - Thanks SpringsLicker! - Pours a hazy copper with a small off white head...aroma is light belgian with some pit fruit and black tea...flavour is sticky sweet fruit that takes a backseat to the booze and malt syrup...I also get massive tea-like qualities, light tannins and spice...no telling what this would be like with a few years in the bottle...

22oz bottle. Smells of brown bananas, cloves, and other spices. Reddish brown, hazy, with an off white long lasting head. Medium sweetness, medium sourness, and a very light vinegar taste. Medium body, slightly oily feel, average carbonation. This is a great beer overall, it balances out the malt, yeast, and alcohol very well.

Pours a slightly hazy brown with a small off white head. Very fruity aroma, a lot of malts, berries, and a touch of caramel. Big sugar and sweetness to this beer. Very malty with some cinnamon and dark fruits. Maybe a little too fruity and too light bodied. i’d like to see some more body, this feels more like a dubbel than a quad to me. Still decent though

Starting off rather lame, this guy soon develops quite a bit of character. Rather light in color for a quadruple, it has a very thick mouth feel that seems to rely on apricots and peaches more so than raisins and plums like other quadruples. It warms your through very well, it even has some noticeable hop characteristics.
