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.

Dark amber in color with a good sized off-white head. Aroma is of yeast, spices, caramel, and raisin. Taste is of molasses, rasins, cherries, and sweet malt.

Poured a nice red/amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma immediately reminded me of an algae covered pond, kind of earthy, green, and a little bit putrid. I could smell some malt, but it was masked a bit by the green smells. Flavor wasn’t quite so heavy on the algae, but there was something a touch metallic and off. There was a bit of an alcohol burn, but it was mostly masked by the flavor. Not sure if I got a bad bottle of this or what. May have to revisit.

Bu le 7 janvier 2009 en bouteille de 22 oz, au Saint Bock à Montreal. Ambrée dorée, peu de collet. Arome d’orge malté très sucré. Bon goût de sucre d’orge, bien malté avec une sensation d’alcool agréable et réchaufant. Délicieuse et réchaufante, tant mieux car il fesait très froid ce soir là!

Great rich fruity flavor. Strong alcohol brings a good warm feeling. Another great Avery brew!

Light pour for a quad, nothing jumps out to give it character, but good warming alcohol effect in the end.

Poured a nice peach color. Smells of tropical fruits, sugar and spice. Had nice sweet flavors of mango, pineapple, peach, mixed with Belgian yeast flavors and spice. A bit thick, and not too carbonated. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a light head with a golden amber body. Smells of brown sugar and some spice. Tastes of brown sugar and some bread notes. I like the balance.

Pours cloudy honey color. Aroma of grape juice and bread. Initial taste of sweet bread and alcohol (light). Finish is medium full. Quite a tasty beverage.
