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.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, orangey-amber body with a well-formed, light beige head. Smell: Toasted nuts and bread followed by a distinct yeastiness and notes of sugar and alcohol coated fruits. Taste: Sweet, bready maltiness with a caramel and honey sweetness jacked up by plenty of candi sugar. A tad yeasty. Peach schnapps soaked fruit flavors of fig and dried cherries. The tiniest pinch of nutmeg. Spicy hops with a medium, resilient bitterness that joins the various other flavors bouncing around the palate. Very faint wood component. Finishes sweet, fruity, and quite warming. Mouthfeel: Medium-plus body. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: A fine, respectable attempt at the style, but comes up a bit short when stacked against the superior Belgian examples. Still though, it is an enjoyable sipper from the good folks over at Avery.

Had this on tap at mad mex. I was unsure what kind of belgian this was when i ordered it but after the first smell and taste i knew it was a quad. The alcohol was prominent but it was still spicy and very sweet. Overall not to bad but i still have not had a great american quad.

(Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 12 April 2008) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dried fruit, caramel and floral notes of roses. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, strawberries and red-currant. Full body, really sweet. Nicely balanced and tasty, maybe slightly too sweet, but still a nice beer.

22oz bottle from the spirt haus. This is a very sweet quad from a great brewery. I taste molasses and a little citrus spice. The alcohol is the most tame flavor and blends well with the overwhelming sugary goodness. Yummy belgian style beer from here in the states. Great beer!

Orange amber with thick white head. Malty spicy and yeasty. Full fruity malty body. Smooth creamy filling body with hop undertones. Sugary sweet and easy warmth.
