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.

12 oz bottle pours a deep golden color with orange highlights/ Sweet aroma with some fruit in there. Sweet and thick body that fits the style.

22 oz. bomber, c. late 2006 to early 2007. Consumed on 10-11-08. Pours a bright, hazy, light amber to copper color with a small amount of beige head. Sweet, sour, floral aroma that reminds me of sour candy. Tart, pungent smell. Very sweet flavors of apricot, candy, rotten apple, white grape juice, and Riesling wine. One of the sweetest beers I’ve ever had. Dry aftertaste. Unique taste. Medium body. Fizzy in the palate. This is a weird beer. I’m glad I tried it, but I can’t call it “good.”

Copper colored with light carbonation. . The aroma is nice but a liittle alcoholy. Medium to heavy in the mouth. Over sweetness from the candy sugar is a little much. OK..probably will pass if given a choice.

On tap at the flying saucer in KC. Pours an amberish color with a mostly clear body. A tad cloudy. Creamy off white head that lingers forever and stays very lacy. Sexy looking beer. The aroma is very sweet and malt based. Dark fruit candy smell, some corriander spices, and a very heavy molasses nose. Hints of hops and alcohol. Full bodied with an insane amount of chewy malts. Starts incredibly sweet, nutty, toffee then moves to a fruitiness mixed with the spice backing and sweet Belgian yeast. Finishes oh so slightly bitter with a warming honey taste. Has a good amount of carbonation, but a very flat feel if that makes any sense. Overall, its a quality beer, but not quite my cup of tea. The balance is nice, but I’m just not a big fan of the flavor.

Pours amber with moderate head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of yeast, hay, soil with some malty sweetness. Flavor is similar to aroma, with some honey, dark fruits, and some spice. Definitely some alcohol in there as well, but drinks pretty smooth. Decent beer.
