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.

Small white head on amber/orange body. Aroma is fairly malty with some light to modeate yeast notes and some hops thrown in there just for good measure. A light to medium body and very dry texture the carbonation is no where to speak of. Initial flavor is moderate sweetness and light acidic undertones. An average finish that is moslty malty sweetness and a foreboding alc.

Big bottle. Pours an amber-brown colour with a nice beige head. Sweet, malty, spiced and hoppy aroma. The flavour is soft and quite sweet with a good maltiness, spices, dark fruits, hops, some yeast and alcohol indeed.

Nice ruby color, not much carbonation. Aroma is sugary and sweet. Definitely a sticky-sweet flavor predominates. Hops are in there somewhere, but not real noticeable with all the sugary sweetness going on. Really too much as far as the sugary flavor goes in my opinion. It’s ok, but not something I would seek out again.

Bottle. Decent brown pour with a white head. Aroma is full and sweet, too hoppy for the style, but interesting. Flavor is just like the aroma - way too sweet, and hugely malty - there’s a lot going on here, and I like some of it, but this is more of a BSA inspired by a quad than anything else. None of that balance that makes the world class quadrupels so good. Overall, I enjoyed this beer, and the alcohol is hidden well. But it’s not what I want out of a quadrupel.

Bottle- Pours a medium amber brown color, small white head. Aroms tickles your nose, fresh with some minor notes of dark fruit, bread. Drinking this is sweet ad malty, finishes slightly dry and boozy. A decent brew

Strong alcohol and yeast nose. Very sweet: cherries, sugar, toffee. Sticky texture works with all the sugar notes, and the alcohol singes just a little.

Bottle. Pours a brilliant amber with a two finger light tan head that lasts leaving good lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel, cherries, dark fruit, bready malt, and alcohol. Taste is the same as aroma with a good amount of alcohol warmth as it goes down. Medium full mouthfeel that finishes slightly to sweet. Alcohol is a little strong and it finishes too sweet but is still a good Abt/Quadrupel.
