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.

absolutely clear amber, off white head. perfumy aroma with dried figs, caramel, bread and alcohol. flavour follows, but is a little sweet and doesn’t really round out in the end. still not bad.

Bomber into an abbey glass. Pours murky brown mixed with blood orange with a small white head that settles into a small layer and ring quickly. The aroma reminds more of a Belgian brown than a quad, malty and rich. The flavor is a bit on the light side, oddly enough, and not quite complex enough. There is some ester, a fair amount of malt, and a dash of dust. High carbonation and a big mouthfeel.

22 fl oz bottle. Off-white small head. Light copper coloured and crystal clear. Pungent sweet hoppy and malty aromas. Wood infusion with piney notes. Nutty caramelly sweet flavours. Sweetness stops abruptly and hop bitterness take over. Finishes piney and dry with a harsh bitterness.

[Sampled at DØE-festival, Valby, 2007 with svoger AT THE LAWN.]
Wow a final beer here at the lawn outside the Valby temple. Voluminous amounts of ingredients such as spices, alcohol, dried fruit, yeast, sherry and much more makes this a great final beer for that wonderful day!

Golden red, bubble gum malt aroma that certainly not unpleasant, but seems to be lacking some depth. . . Bananas, green apples, some pears on the tongue, the only real complexity comes right at the finish when the sweet fruits morph into an unexpected oakiness. Pretty light on the palette for such a string beer. . . some spicy alcohol lingers as it warms, overall good beer but I was expecting a bit more complexity.

22 oz bottle. Pours a full rich amber color. Complex nose with notes of clove, malt, hops and candied fruit. Very crisp body. The palate is surprisingly dry despite the nose. I get notes of clove, nutmeg, hops and more candied fruits. Big, complex and hoppy. Finishes dry hoppy and long. Another great offering from Avery.

Malty with a tinge of grape aroma,malty grapey taste with a grainey mouthfeel, nice sweet aftertaste, but not enormously satisfying
