Fruity taste with banana being most dominant. It is quite sweet with a little bit of a bitter taste. Gypsy19 (618), California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 26, 2008 Strong boozy taste. Basically tastes like somebody threw in a shot of cheap whiskey. Too sweet, sugary, syrupy. blutt59 (2096), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 11, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a fairly clear reddish-amber with a nice but fleeting off-white head. Aroma is sweet and rich, with strong notes of honey, molasses, and hops along with some slight hints of dark fruit. Taste is uncharacteristically light for the style, with tastes of spice and both sugary and fruity sweetness giving way to a strong hoppy and somewhat boozy bite to finish things off. Not quite as rich and full as I usually would associate with a quadrupel, but still a drinkable and intriguing beer. Elizavyeta (110), Minnesota, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 11, 2008 Fantastically crimson with a cloudy pour and wispy head. Its aromas are not unlike strawberry, wheat, and honey.
The actual flavor of this beer is rather tart with piquant, toasty notes that linger.
The Reverend would pair nicely with apples and a younger raw milk gouda to offset the sweetness. AmEricanbrew (1808), Doing Rogue, Louisiana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jan 10, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours a garnet hue with a small head that fizzed out quickly. Strong alcohol aroma along with caramel and spices. Malty sweetness and alcohol flavors dominate the palate with little if any hop presence. A so-so mouthfeel is syrupy sweet.
This beer has a raw , unrefined character. The syrupy sweetness and strong alcohol taste dominate this potentially excellent brew. I’m cellaring a couple bottles in hopes of discovering a diamond in the rough.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Jan 5, 2008 bomber. very solid belgian style beer from one of my favorite breweries - avery. Really, they do not disappoint. This quadrupel style pours a deep red color with a tiny bit of head. Very sweet, sugary, molasses aroma coming off the glass. Wonderfully complex on the palate with spiciness on the front of the tongue, rich fruit tones, and a well balanced finish that leaves you wanting more. I think this one deserves a higher overall rating.... I give it an A. STEPHENDR (478), California, USA
