Avery The Reverend

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Boulder, Colorado USA

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.

pours medium brown with a small head. smell is classic belgian. has a heavy rochefort 8 style taste. complex and the alcohol comes through a little bit. good stuff

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.

from bomber to snifter. sour aroma (ubt not unpleasant, egg whites, powederd sugar. deep orange bordering on maraschino color, thin tannish head. Does various dances with my tongue Tastes of nectatine, corn, maple, alcohol, cherry. finsishing sweet.

Pours orange-red with very litte head. It smells good, of spice and orange and the flavor is sweet, and full of clove. Lots of flavor, very drinkable.

This beer pors almost deep orange. It shows notes of fruits, citrus and sugars. The mouthfeel really pushes the balance of the beer as even with the high alcohol content you do not seem to get a great deal of heat.

Pours a deep copper in color with a medium head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel yeast and spices. Flavor was very similar to the aroma but with a slightly sweet tone.Finish could be longer but overall a decent quadrupel.

Poured a dark orange from a 22 oz bottle. A strong aroma of alcohol with a candy sugar smell. Fruity taste with banana being most dominant. It is quite sweet with a little bit of a bitter taste.
