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.

Pours golden with a nice thin white head. Smells and taste: Fruity. Apricot? I cannot really tell how this particular beer qualifies as an Abt...and differs from a Belgian strong ale. Perhaps my palate has not quite matured yet. I can say that the fruity strong taste with the thick yeasty body is quite satisfying! Cheers Avery!

Blairgus (1019) - California, USA - JAN 11, 2012
11 jan 2012, tap. Light gold, clear, no bubbles. Rich spiced banana aroma. Med/thin body and fizzy. Candy banana, alcohol that has just a twinge of harshness, moderate alcohol presence, some sweet yeastiness, and some caramel/butterscotch notes. Pretty nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

popkow (198) - New York, New York, USA - JAN 4, 2012
Amber with limited light passing through the hazy body with short lasting tan head. Very sweet aroma with ripe fruits and a hint of caramel. Alcohol aroma is at the finish of this medium body quad.

jcweaver (367) - VA Beach, Virginia, USA - JAN 3, 2012
Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a small, white head. Sweet, malty aroma with hints of dark fruits and caramel with maybe a hint of hops. Sweet, malty flavor with more dark fruits and caramel. Some spices and a hint of hops also. The alcohol is a little too prominent.

Frovigalning (1320) - Örebro, SWEDEN - DEC 26, 2011
Bottle from systembolaget. Sweet and malty smell, wineous, fruity, cekey and some honey. Similar taste. Very nice beer but I felt that this one was more of an old ale or type of barley wine then a quad. But whichever it was a very tasty brew.

BadAprilia1000 (105) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - DEC 18, 2011
Pours a very nice amber color. Smells of sugar and apricots. Tastes very sugary with lots of fruits. This beer is very good pretty generic for this style though but, that in no way means its a bad beer.

laiti (1012) - Tampere, FINLAND - DEC 10, 2011
65 cl bottle @ home, no BBE info
Sweet aroma with american hops, malt, candi sugar and some raisins. Flavour is very sweet with lots of sugar, syrup, some caramel, toffee and hints of raisins. Way too sweet and not very quadrupel-like.
