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.

Had this at Flying Saucer on my birthday, the beginning of what would turn out to be a very sloppy night. Beer was good though, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bitter, bitter, bitter beer. Disgusting. Beautiful color/tolerable aroma, tastes like sweaty feet. My girlfriend liked it though.

Not a bad quad. Smells of dark fruit, caramel, and candy sugar. The flavor is likewise with notes of cherries, sugar, and a bit of spice. Little bite at the end. Overall not bad.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Reddish amber w/ almost no head. Banana esters and rotten produce in the aroma. Taste is the same, with thankfully less rot. Alcohol warmth. Slightly off balance.

Big bottle. Clear copper colour with a perfect medium head that settles with good lacing. Aroma of caramel, malt and some sugar. Pleasant flavour with a nice warming finish. Would be great on a cold night. Not something that knocks your socks off but definitely pleasant.

Bottle. Warm caramel color with thin off-white head. High carbonation at pour. Licorice and caramel dominated aroma. Maltiness, sugars, and licorice predominate flavors. Not one of my favorites.

Bottle. Clear amber pour. Little head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits, malt and belgian yeasts. Flavor similar, along with spice and alcohol. Very smooth texture.

The beer is a red amber with a thin white head. The nose is big, I can smell it 2 ft. away. The nose is a mix of sweet malts, hops, spice, caramel and toasted nuts. The mouth feel is slightly thick with a nice round feel. The taste somewhat follows the nose but it finish with a somewhat unpleasant funk, almost fishy.
