4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Deep amber with little head. Very complex flavors, more than I can pick out. I do know that it tastes wonderful. I expected a lot from a quad, and it delivers. Not quite in the same league as St. Bernardus, but quite close.
Excellent

Bottle. Pour was golden brown with a nice aroma of fruit, sweet malt, caramel, light toast and spice. Flavors were well blended and on the sweeter side with a nice nutty malt character, medium fruity ester notes, and a nice alcoholic finish. Very well balanced and a nice beer to drink anytime. This is worth a try.

Fantastically crimson with a cloudy pour and wispy head. Its aromas are not unlike strawberry, wheat, and honey.
The actual flavor of this beer is rather tart with piquant, toasty notes that linger.
The Reverend would pair nicely with apples and a younger raw milk gouda to offset the sweetness.

Bottle. Pours a nice dark amber color with a frothy, off-white head. Aromas of bananas, malts, cherry, and a hint of orange. Texture is lively to start, then quickly goes smooth with a fantastically oily mouthfeel. Flavors of currants, bananas, and actually a nice mellow malty taste. I didn’t have high expectations for this beer but it exceeded expectations.

The appearance is thick, murky, plum-red. Head dies fast. Color and body are beautiful, though the head does evaporate. The smell is white wine all the way, and the alcohol comes in like gin. Sweet grapes and sour plums. Charcoal ashes in the nose, as well as nutmeg. Really complex. Gritty grain bill as it warms up, and another wave of that 10% alcohol. The taste is sweet grapes, perfume and rose petals. Heavy alcohol presence. Red apple and pears. Starts harsh and bitter. Finishes sweet and fruity. The malts emerge as the temperature rises, with a finish of dark stone fruits. The feel is severely thick and syrupy. High-density, like a red-wine. Smooth and oliy and big. This is a solid quad all around; it’s complex and bittersweet. Like a hefty red wine and a fruity white.

22oz bottle. Pours a relatively clear dark ruby with decent sized tan foamy head that sticks around for a bit. Aroma, especially on the head, is canned pineapple with some apple and spice, as the head dissipates the nose stays sweet but is more dark fruit, candied sugar, bready malt. Flavor is also quite sweet, but even darker than the aroma: caramel, cherry, raisin. Thin for a Quad, flavors are much more muddled and much less pronounced, and there is less of an alcohol hit than I expected (if any). All together, though, I really really like this beer. This is certainly not a beer geek’s Quad, which is, I’m sure, why the ratings are so low; but drink this without expectation and this is honesty quite delicious.

Smooth and sweet, strong with malts and fruit. Great beer, easy to drink.

With a label that states: "Created by God Feared by Satan Loved By All Reverend Luther Tucker", how could I resist not trying this brew?! Oh what a delicious abt/quad!! Insanely complex but seductively delicious!! Definitely a sipper and will pair well with some beef dinners but it would also make for an excellent nightcap! Every sip is pure bliss!!! One last note ... this brew is cellarable for up to four (4) years!!!
