Avery The Reverend Belgian Quad

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to dark brown hue with excellent clarity and a rich, substantial head that demonstrates impressive retention. The color reflects the complexity within, suggesting layers of caramelized malts and dark fruit character. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, creating fine bubbles that rise steadily.

◌ Aroma

Inviting nose dominated by dark fruit esters—plum and fig—layered with toffee sweetness and a subtle Belgian yeast spiciness. Warm alcohol vapors are present but not harsh, adding depth rather than dominance. Hints of bread crust and clove provide additional complexity that draws you back for another sniff.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich, malty sweetness balanced expertly by subtle bitterness from the restrained hop profile. Mid-palate reveals caramel, bread notes, and warming alcohol that enhances rather than overwhelms. The full body coats the mouth beautifully, with clove and spice notes emerging as the beer warms.

◑ Finish

Dry Belgian yeast finish that cleanly concludes the experience while maintaining lingering warmth and subtle fruit notes. The aftertaste is contemplative and sophisticated, encouraging reflection with each sip.

Serve at 12–14°C. This is a contemplative beer — warmth unlocks the dark fruit, caramel and complex malt.

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
