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.

750 ml bottle courtesy of Sparky27 on a trade about a year ago... finally busted this one open. first impression is this is really lacking in carbonation... virtually no head. very pleasant aroma - some dark fruit, a touch of alcohol and some caramel. medium body that really grabs hold of the tip of the palate... raisins, as well as other dark fruits, light caramel, some alcohol, and sugar dominate... very soft throughout and very enjoyable overall. Somewhat strong finish, with a touch of bitterness. A really nice quad... glad I got to try this one.

Had a strong malt, dark fruit, and light caramel character. Flavor included brown sugar, more malt, light roast, raisins. Well balanced brew. Alcohol was well hidden.

A reddish brown ale with a thin off white head. A wonderful cherry and licorice aroma, with vinous alcohol. In mouth, a rich smooth cherry and chocolate, with light aniseed notes, and warming alcohol. Rich and wonderful. Tasted at Mondiale 2007.

Bottle. [thanks, bigbro]
Pours a nice, clear mahogany with a small, creamy, beige, film head. Toffee, raisins, plums, vanilla, some alcochol and subdued chocolate in the aroma. Low carbonation, nice oily mouthfeel. Flavour starts with som sharpish alcohol, then turns sweet, with good toffee and some soft chocolate. Nice fruitiness, but not the best quad in the world.

A bottle shared at Pikkulintu. Pale beige head. Slighly medicine like taste. Some raisin in the nose. Not very much head. Some barleywine likeness. Some hints of chocolate and oak.

Lots of fruity goodness in this rich and complex quadrupel. Dark brown, almost black. Lots of different fruit and alcohol in the flavor. Palate is almost a bit too sweet. Alcohol is well hidden.
