The reverend is apparently known for inspiring thoughts of the divine. I think it is a decent beer, and in the large bottle size, it is an easy one to get twisted on, but there are some drawbacks.

Sweetness - perhaps too sweet. A bit cream-sicle, maybe, but it still tastes like that Belgian quad. The dark coloration and creaminess are major benefits, but too much is truly too much with this beer, even when we're talking 10 flat abv. It could be easier to drink, and I don't like fighting sweetness; that feels less manly.

A - Amber color with a reddish hue. No lacing of note; No carbonation either.

S - Scents of cherries, red grapes, dried fruit, and berries hit the nose. An extremely fruit flavored quad.

T - Sweetness has a cloying feel. Slightly tart in the finish. There is a warming brun int he finish that belies the boozy nature of the Reverend.

M - A sipper for sure, this appeals to those that like a sweeter quadrupel. Heavy in its body, but also complex.

O - Worth trying and a good domestic quad that is perfect for after a meal.

Pours a dark amber/red. One solid finger of off white somewhat dark head. Lots of stickage on the glass. Smell of grapes, alcohol, raisins, cranberries, and toffee permeate the aroma of this beer. Smells alot like wine to me actually. Taste is quite complex. Beer tastes of toffee, sweet malts, caramel, and fruits. Finishes strongly with a raisiny, fruity flavor. Only a hint of alcohol is present and does not interfere with the flavors of the beer.
