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.

Positively one of the best aromas I’ve ever smelled. It was apple pie. Pure apple pie. Apples, cinnamon, and sweet dough; so delicious. The taste was similar though was spicier and exhibited a strong alcohol kick that kind of bogged it down. But I’ll be god danmed if it didn’t smell absolutely amazing. Food pairing: apple pie.

Very nice sugary sweetness to it. Like toffee and caramel. Easy to drink, alcohol extremely well hidden. Not much bitterness, which I was thankful for. Very smooth and tasty. I enjoyed very much, will get again.

22oz bottle that pours a dark copper color with a thick tan head. 10% alcohol that goes down smooth at 4$. My new favorite.

Pours a reddish amber color with a nice large off white head that recedes to a nice ring and film leaving a nice lacing. Aroma is earthy with dried fruits, bannana, and malts. Nice flavor with much of the same as the aroma add black licorice, brown sugar, mollasses, honey and spices. Sweet, but not too much so. Nice sticky mouthfeel. Flavor complexities change as it warms, so slow down and enjoy. Nice quad.

Poured orange brown with diminishing off white head. Bready aroma with hint of hops and yeast. Great flavor. Another winner from Avery.

Pours clear red-orange with a 1 finger foamy white head that leaves thin rings of lacing. Aroma has a nice lemon, yeast and dried fruit front leading to asparagus, licorice, caramel, and some pitted fruit. Flavor is a little weak for the style but complex and not offputting. Initially orange zest, then yeasty bread rolls covered inpeach preserves and honey. After that a wave of sweet cherries, peppery yeast, molasses, some citrus hops, and a rich chewy burnt sugar heavy carmel. Finish is pretty clean- pepery, then slightly bitter and acidic hops, and pineapple.
