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 gold into a Trappist glass. Head quickly recedes to hug rim. Sweet malt aromas. Banana upfront with a dried pit fruit middle and a lasting sweet alcohol burn.

Amber-gold presentation with a promising clean flavor. Filtered, leaving a clean white head. Gentle, non-offensive aroma leaves a confidence that speaks for itself. Flavors trigger the back of the tung, reminds me of early autumn. I can see the orange leaves, in fact the color reminds me of the season as well... Love to see this beer unfiltered.

Nose is minimal to me. Yeast, cinnamon, ginger, and alcohol in the mouth which work very well together. not a huge fan of the style.

BMan1113VR (6146) - Los Angeles, California, USA - MAR 28, 2008
Pours with a quickly dissapearing, off-white head covering a copper body. Aroma is of spices, sugar, banana and cherries. Tastes of anice, spices, deep quad with possibly some coriander and banana. Mouthfeel is a bit too fizzy.

blueturk (80) - Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - MAR 26, 2008
22 oz bottle. Mean looking dude on that bottle! Pours brilliant copper with med/low very light tan head. Some Belgian yeast character in the nose (brit). Sweet with some mild alcohol warming and bitterness in the taste. Fairly well balanced with unexpected low maltiness. A decent beer, but might benefit from some aging.

crazyvin (1536) - New York, USA - MAR 24, 2008
Poured a clear copper color with almost no head. A nice sweet aroma with mainly brown sugar notes too it. Flavor was initially sweet but finished with a bready-alcohol mix. Carbonation was low, body seemed thin for this style.

Strykzone (2906) - Wood River, Illinois, USA - MAR 23, 2008
Pours a copper color with a smallish short lived head. Aroma is alcohol, sugar, and fruit. Flavors in this beer are big and complex, like the bottle. There is plenty of sugar, fruit, caramel, spice, and alcohol. Feels slick and slightly oily and is just a bit too clean. A wonderful beer!
