3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark copper with a medium size white head. Sweet malt aroma with hints of dark fruit. Flavor of sweet malt, but not nearly as sweet as I expected. Hints of
candy sugar with a touch of malts at the finish. Probably be better if laid down for
a year.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a nice red/amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma immediately reminded me of an algae covered pond, kind of earthy, green, and a little bit putrid. I could smell some malt, but it was masked a bit by the green smells. Flavor wasn’t quite so heavy on the algae, but there was something a touch metallic and off. There was a bit of an alcohol burn, but it was mostly masked by the flavor. Not sure if I got a bad bottle of this or what. May have to revisit.

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.

This pours a dark amber with a fine ass nose of dark fruits,bananas with some coriander?? A relatively sweet brew that has some nice dark fruit flavors.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear reddish-amber with a small beige head that fades quickly to a lasting ring and laces quite a bit. Aroma of cherry, caramel, candy sugar, Belgian yeast, and pear. Taste is sweet, yeasty, and a touch spicy with a mild bitterness and a quite noticeable alcohol presence. Low carbonation and medium full bodied with alcohol on the palate. Pretty easy drinking for a quad. Nice flavors and aroma, but the alcohol is not as well integrated as I’d hoped. Definitely enjoyable though.

this had some clying cloves, carmel, strawberry, apricot, some oak and vanilla, and a little alcohol.

Bottle. Amber color, small white head. Smells yeasty and spicy. Flavor is similar, very sweet, candy. Alcohol in aftertaste, nice beer, somewhat fruity at end.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JUL 22, 2010 Hazy caramel with fair, creamy, off-white head / Big, sweet, floral, winey nose of caramel and citrus / Full body, sweet and sticky, with big malts partially balanced by a good, hoppy, finish / Flavors of violets, banana, orange, caramel, coriander, and oak / Monsterous, a touch cloying for me, but well balanced for what is essentially a barleywine.

I have really enjoyed every Avery product I have had besides this one. The Reverend pours a reddish/copper color with a tan head. The aroma hits you hard with plenty of grass, some sweetness, and what seems to smell like tomato juice. The taste is just not good--they definitely went overboard on the candy sugar. The flavors are sweet--too sweet. I tasted some breads and tons of red beet-like flavors. I would not reccomend this beer to anyone."
