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.

Scarlet amber in color with a white rim around the head. Aroma of canned corn juice, toasted malts and toffee. Holy sweet - high banana and fruity esters.

Sweet nose, candy sugar, some dark fruit. Flavor is not as complex as other quads. Dark sugars, fruity esthers. Too thin for my liking. So-so beer.

This beer has avery fitting name, a somewhat tame,easy to drink, but overly sweet. Translucent, amber color with 1/2 inch head, and a steady stream of carbonation. Body seems to be torn between sugars and bitter taste of hopes, lacking complexity. The sugar really put me off.

Pours copper/amber with a thin white head. Fruity aroma but the taste not so much, which I liked, as I don’t care for oversweet beers, but it was still very full of taste. Potent, delicious. That’s what beer should be.

Pours a dirty amber color with a very thin off white head.Smells very fruity with the most dominant being apricot. Lots of yeast and spices also detectable. Taste was very sweet at first then tart and acidic. Apricot and oranges with other candied fruit. Slight alcohol warming. This was thick and creamy in the mouth with a very full body and a dry finish.

Bottled. A reddy brown coloured beer with a minimal off white head. A typically Belgian yeasty candy sugar aroma which appears to provide alcoholic warmth to the nostrils. Boozy and fruity in the mouth. A little alcohol sting. Lots of sugary fruitiness. A decent effort, just wish it were more mellow.

Bottle from my cousin-in-law for X-Mas. Hollar! Pours cloudy amber with a thin white head. Smells very caramelly and sugary sweet. Tastes spicy and slightly hoppy with biting alcohol and lingering big caramel, sugary sweetness. Medium body, good carbonation.
