COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A massive beer in every sense of the word. A stronger and more contemplative version of our Lost and Found Ale. Judgment Day is the base beer for our Cuvee de Tomme. Many of the Trappist Breweries produce a version of beer which ages incredibly well for many years to come. And, since none of us knows when the end of the world is coming, we suggest you stock up with lots of Lost Abbey beers so that when the end of the world magically appears from no where, you’ll have a beer or two on hand for even the stingiest of angels. Available in 750ml bottles and on draft at select inspired locations.

Editor's note. This is a new incarnation of Mother of All Beers, previously brewed at Pizza Port Solana Beach.

750ml bottle. Aroma of prunes, toffee, spicy yeast and oak. Flavor is lots of sweet dark fruit and caramel malt with an earthy yeast taste and a bit of alcohol warming. Medium to full body with prickly carbonation and a semi-dry mouth feel. This is a really nice beer, full of flavor and hides the alcohol fairly well, definitely share a bottle.

Bottled on 01/11/2010: 2 years old. Pours dark brown with amber highlights. Short-med head that finishes as a thin tan froth. Let the head subside before rating the nose because this booms with fruity quality. Rich raisin, fig, molasses, prune. Also slightly medicinal. Excellent. The flavor hasn’t fully developed on first tasting i’m guessing as well... Its bitter-sweet and a bit prickly. Medium+ body, good carbonation, sticky-thin texture, and a surprisingly charred, bitter finish. So much promise, such disappointing delivery.

Poured into a snifter. 2010 vintage. Cork broke off at the top which was a major pain in the ass. 3.0 A: Clear deep amber brown color. One finger of frothy beige head that falls quickly and leaves a tiny ring of lacing. 3.5 S: Tons of plum. After that fig, currant, and raisin. Caramel with perhaps a touch of toastiness. The yeast is a bit surprising in that there isn’t really any Belgian spiciness going on. Still not bad. 3.5 T: Taste is like the nose, only there’s a small charred component added and it’s more vinous overall. Plum, raisin, fig, currant in that order. Caramel and toast. 2.5 M: The mouthfeel is the worst part about this. It’s a bit undercarbonated, but worse, the carbonation is "dead" as opposed to spritzy like most of its bretheren. Otherwise, smooth. 3.0 D: This has some good and some bad qualities that put this right at the middle of average. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 12-30-2011 06:11:25

Pours a dark cloudy cola color with a tan head that heavy on the edges. aroma is of raisins, prunes, and brown sugar. flavor is of raisins, prunes, dark fruits, candy sugar, cola, chocolate, and some licorice. Has a medium full body with a creamy mouthfeel and a dry, long finish. overall, a very nice Quad.
