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.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - JAN 2, 2007
It’s a dark amber beer with a modest head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, fruit and spice, and the same is found in the flavour, that has a light caramel sweetness and a limited bitterness. In the finish there is a nice note of coriander. A nice beer 1715.

Draft at San Diego Brewing Company. So the guy at the bar tells me this is a triple. I have seen it around everywhere, but never really looked into it. So I take him at his word. I knew right away that it was way too malty to be a triple. I was actually thinking dubbel. Didn’t seem really like a Quad to me. Still very good. Especially since I love a good dubbel. hehehe. Deep golden amber with a smallish head. Lots of malty aromas. Dark fruits and actaully rather quadish now that I think about it. Malt continues into the flavor. Dark and fruity, and almost no hop bitterness. It was really good.

trokini (1027) - San Diego, California, USA - NOV 13, 2006
Pours reddish brown with nearly no head. Aroma full of sugar, cherries, and malt. Syrupy mouthfeel compliments the sweet and fruity taste. Lots of currants and candy sugar in this one. Gets better as it warms, but still keeps the sweet character.

GeneralGao (3515) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - MAY 3, 2007
22 oz bottle. Poured a clear copper color. Head was two fingers high and off white with good retention and lacing. Aroma was of fresh malty cereal grain, clove, accented by a hint of banana and caramel. Sweet on the tongue and full bodied. Lots of different flavors to pick out. Cotton candy, clove, cherry schnapps, and more clove. Pretty tasty.

gatorbeer (148) - Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA - SEP 21, 2005
UPDATED: NOV 5, 2005 Thin, rapidly-dispersing head. Hazy jewel amber color. Notable for the rosey, floral aroma. The flavor is hoppy, with a hint of apples.
