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.

Bottle at Brewtopia ’04. Deep golden color with little head. Aroma is malt and spicy orange with no hop aroma as expected for the style. Flavor is heavily spiced, citrusy. Not bad.

Bottle. Clear, greyish nut brown colour, small head. Slightly hoppy aroma. The flavour is full, nice and peppery. Nice and warming alcohol feel.

Isn’t the label a rating category? Darn...should be! Oh well, I guess we’ll have to rate this one the contents. Poured a ruddy-orange with a light head. Aroma has a bit nutty (odd?). Tasted was surprisingly spicy, with a sweet ride to the finish.

On draft at some little BBQ joint in Seal Beach, CA. Really nice example of the style, a pleasant spice to cut the bigness that comes off drinkable and fantastic.

Poured a quickly dissipating frothy head. Almost no lacing. Dark orange and copper colored. Strong spicy/fruit aroma. Taste of Spice and alcohol with lots of candi sugar. Will buy another and cellar.

Bomber bottle with a very interseting label. hazzy dark amber with medium head that diminished quickly. Complex sweet fruit aroma. Medium body with smooth texture. Complex full flavor with long sweet finish with a small alcohol bite. The brew was as interesting as the label.

Bottle poured dark copper with a nice white head and thick lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, fruit and light spice. Flavor is malty, smooth and well balanced with a spicy alcohol finish.
