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.

From the Bottle at TAG Restaurant, Denver 22/09/2009 Yeast and malt aromas. Golden coloured floral smooth on the palate and strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

65 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Clear, crisp mahogany colour. Thin clinging head, sweet cider and brandy aroma. Syrupy consistency, honey and clove flavor with a faint alcohol finish. Very enjoyable.

Nice amber color in my glass. One finger head that leaves a slight film on top of the liquid. Slightly decent lacing. BIG maltiness. Very sweet malty nose. Sweet candy sugars. Butterey, yeasty bread. Light citrus and banana notes. Quite abit more mellow than I expected, but that is not a bad thing. Very nice caramel notes. Apple and banana notes. Sweet malt flavor. Big yeasty bread profile. Slight spiciness on the finish. The alcohol bite I expected at 10% is not here at all. Feels very creamy in the mouth, yet still smooth and drinkable. Almost velvet-like. Drinking several bottles of this in a session would be easy. The drawback is that with 10% ABV, you won’t remember doing it.

Bottle. Poured a hazy dark orange with little to no head. Aroma is dark fruits, sweet malts, and belgian yeast. Notes of candied sugar, cherry, and molasses come out. On the palate, it is thick. The flavor really brings out a stong alcohol character. It finishes very sweet, leaving a nice alcohol burn. I was not too impressed with this beer, but it was very different.

Botle at Trappeze. Poured an amber orangish color. Aroma of dark and sweet fruit, candy sugar, spice. Taste is similar with lots of fruit, sweet malt, candy sugar, mild spice, kind of like a festive ale. Mouth is coating, syrupy. Finish is warming and sweet. Overall, a decent fruity and spicey ale.
