Avery : The Reverend
Aged bottle, approx 2 years age on it.

LOOK: Light brown color, cloudy with some sediment. Off white head forms and recedes to a ring around the goblet.

SMELL: Apple butter, toffee, rummy alcohol.

TASTE: Caramel, toffee, caramel apples, soft fruitiness. Bitterness is very mild. Brown sugar, mild toast and faint raisin. Just a touch of spicy alcohol heat, well guided for sure.

FEEL: Light bodied, well carbonated, alittle sticky.

OVERALL: Think this one peaked, but I like the way this came out. Mellow and easy drinking, this was a cellar treat. You can take your time when deciding to crack this one, still very tasty.

[Suggested Glassware: Trappist Glass]

The pour was a clear medium reddish brown with a small (less than 1 finger) khaki colored head, which reduced to a large puddle and collar and possessed awesome sheets of lacing that totally engulfed the entire glass.

The aroma was of toasted Belgian malts, light floral hops and a musty Belgian yeast with notes of candi sugar, molasses, coriander and dark fruit (black cherry, currant and raisons).

The taste was moderately sweet and extremely malty with hints of molasses and candi sugar early on, progressing with a mild yeast presence, a somewhat bold fruitiness and a light spicy ending. The flavor stayed with you for a decently long while following the swallow, with a fruity spiciness left to linger on for a while longer.

Mouthfeel was somewhere in between light and medium in body with a thin creamy texture and a nice lively carbonation.

Overall this was a really good tasting beer, which had a good bold fruitiness along with a nice malty sweetness and a touch of spice, making it very enjoyable and easy to drink. Definitely a fine well rounded brew...
