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.

Even if the label didnt read "raisins" my nose would have known, along wiht brandy, sour cherry, alcohol. head lasted maybe 10 seconds, dark, coupe layers of malt here-- raisins, cherries stuffed with brown suga. meant to age, so not as complex as could get. sweet, carmelized finish.

I love it, I freakin love it. Smell is raisins, plantains, gin, brown sugar and alcohol. Deep muddy brown with quickly disapating beige frothy rocky head. Taste like a mix of styles, but to describe it fairly, I will reference Dogfish Head and say that it is right in between the Raisin D’etre and Raisin D’extra. Awesome flavor that meddles with all the aroma components plus yeast, but not in the typical quad way because in this beer the yeast comes off as being somehow roasty or burnt. Tremendous balance with the carbonation. Super beer, thank you Port Brewing. 08 or 09 22oz.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy brownish amber color with a small beige head that disappears quickly. The aroma is an interesting mix of caramel, dark fruits, spices, raisins, alcohol, and a touch of banana. The flavor has much of the same goodness centered around the caraeml malts and dark fruits. Raisins, spices, and brown sugar with alcohol round out the flavor profile. For a bigger beer this was pretty easy to drink, although a bit warming. The finish was dry but full. This was not the best quad, but very enjoyable.

Pours a stunning, august goblet full of a rich, translucent ruby-amber, that looks chestnut brown at first glance, and adorned with a lush crop of creme-brulee head. Deep raisin, dark fruits and clean yeast sweep up and swarm the olfactory senses. Full-bodied, washing over the palate with raisin, some alcohol and yeastiness, leaving a bitter twinge on the tongue. A tickling of banana. Flavor starts leaning a bit too much toward the alcohol/ethyl that I care for as it distracts from the other complexities. After a few sips, the potency puts you in a swoon. After half a glass, the good qualities fade, and the alcohol and bitterness increase. Unfortunate, as this started out promisingly.

750 ml. bottle. Pours a thin short lived head over a dark reddish brown clear body....nose loaded with esthers, with fruit, fig ,raisin, cherry, predominating wiith some molasses drifting through...taste initially is quite sweet, then more complexas the fruit flavors flow through ending with a lingering mild bitter bite, it is never dry....mouth feel is quite light given the forces involved.

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.
