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.

Nice amber color,small to no head,very little holding power as well.Malty sweet aroma with a hint of spice and fruit.The taste was mildly sweet malty and definately fruity.Very sweet after taste with a fruit tone to it and the alcohol shows up nicely here with a slight warming while going down.This is not exactly my favorite but it still is a very decent brew.

22 oz bomber-pours a deep amber hue with off-white big bubble head that didn’t last very long. sweet, banana, spice, butter aroma. big beer here thats for shure! flavors are sweet like the salvation, but more spices in this one compared to the salvation. big alcohol bite. That sweetness strikes again! This and the Salvation are to be sampled with 3 people. This is not a one person beer.

Draft at San Diego Brewing Company. So the guy at the bar tells me this is a triple. I have seen it around everywhere, but never really looked into it. So I take him at his word. I knew right away that it was way too malty to be a triple. I was actually thinking dubbel. Didn’t seem really like a Quad to me. Still very good. Especially since I love a good dubbel. hehehe. Deep golden amber with a smallish head. Lots of malty aromas. Dark fruits and actaully rather quadish now that I think about it. Malt continues into the flavor. Dark and fruity, and almost no hop bitterness. It was really good.

Sampled yesterday with BrotherBrando: Poured a dark but cloudy copper colour with a huge white head. Aroma had noticeable alcohol and fruity esters, wheat and caramel notes on the nose. Taste was pleasent, very rich, and creamy with brown sugar and plum notes. A little spice in the finish as well.

Reddish in color with a good white head. Aromas is sweet with the fruitness and caramel coming through. Taste is sweet. Body has been lightened somewhat for the strenght of the beer. Not bad.

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. Aug 2004

Very, very nice brew. Bright clear red color, so clear it looks like Kool-Aid with a head. Alcohol is quite evident in the nose, along with plenty of pine, chocolate, toffee, and caramel. Flavor is very strong with heavy maltiness. Tastes quite a bit like a tricked-up scotch ale, actually. Get some nuts, cocoa, and spice. Very noticeable alcohol, but at 10% abv that’s expected. Finish is smooth and buttery with a bit of tartness. A very enjoyable brew.
