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.

(22oz bomber) Pours a very clear amber. The nose is spicy and fruity. The taste has a low amount of hops, but this beer is way too sweet with no fruit profile. The caramel is cloying and the alcohol is hot on the finish. This doesn’t taste much like an ABT or really much like beer in my opinion. Not a good example of the style.

Pour a orange-amber color with a tan head. aroma is of sweet malts, plums, clove, yeast, and spices. flavor is of dark fruit, sweet malt, candied sugar, carmel, molasses, spices, and a some alchool. has a full body and medium carbonation. cosidering the fullness and high alchool, it is acutlly pretty drinkable. overall, a pretty good but not top tier Abt.

On tap at brewery. Pours a nice dark amber color with minimal tan head. The aroma is sweet malts, clove, dark ripe plums and yeast. The taste like the aroma features a lot of dark fruit flavors, a lot of sweet malt and dark candied sugar and a big heavy alcohol finish.

A bottle. The beer poured a amber body with a cream head. The smell is of over ripe fruit. The taste is of plums and sour fruit. The carbonation is a little weak for me. 1 bottle 6

bottle. Pours a cloudy mahogany with a disappearing head. Aroma is assertively sweet without being sickening and is accompanied with the complexity of plums, cloves, figs, etc. It all comes together nicely in the flavor also with a dry vinous finish. The alcohol is not detectable. Totally solid take on the style, but doesn’t go above the already high standards for a quad.
