Lost Abbey Judgment Day

Bottle 75 cl. Average creamy off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Mahogany color. Prunes, dates, yeast, malty notes, vinous, port wine. Full bodied with an average carbonation and thick texture. Heavy sweet flavor with a hint of bitterness as counter flavor. Lingering sweet prunes and warming alcoholic finish. Lovely Quard I must say.

(Bottled) Clear, dark reddish brown with a small, tanned head. Huge dried fruitiness with plums and raisins, plus also some fresh fruitiness. Sweet, very malty flavor with again huge dark and fresh fruitiness, and some Weizen-Eisbock -like warming banana. Quite full-bodied with high viscosity and low carbonation. Still easy to drink, and not extreme in anything but its full fruitiness. A beautiful Quadrupel in the US "more of everything" -style. 689926005056

Rich and complex aroma offers notes of plums, raisins, marzipan, bubblegum. Opaque brown body is topped by a low, fine bubbled, tan head that recedes rapidly to a partial cover. Flavour is sweet up front with plenty of vinous fruits and some dark malt bitterness, but alcohol is very apparent. Thick and chewy in texture with somewhat low carbonation and moderate warming. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle picked up last summer in California. Jul-08.

750 ml bottle. Pours a dark muddy brown with a small, quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma is loads of dark fruit, plums, prunes and raisins. Some spices and molasses are there too. Flavor is sweet, mostly raisins, some chocolate and a little too much alcohol. Black cherries and figs. Palate is thick, carbonation is light. Really a great beer, but it loses a couple flavor points because of the alcohol. A bit of cellaring would do it good.

Bottle. Blackish/brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is mildly malty, and the flavour is whisky, deeply malty molasses and bitter at the finish. Overall a nice strong beer.

Bottle from Sam’s in Downers Grove, IL. This pours a deep brown body with orange/red highlights and a diminutive head of bubbles that vanishes rapidly. The aroma is dark dried fruit, burnt brown sugar, alcohol, and brown spices. The flavor is mainly dark plums, raisins, and alcohol. It finishes on a sweet & fruity note with a low alcohol burn. Okay, but I was expecting a whole lot more.

750 ml bottle. Dark brown pour with a thick, light tan head. Good amount of lacing. Aroma of raisins, plums, cinnamon. Sticky, sweet mouthfeel. Candi sugar, dark fruits, chocolate, and some toffee in the flavor. Dry, bready finish. Not my favorite style, but a really good beer.

Dark ruby with a small off-white head. Aroma of dark sugar, molasses and licorice, figs and raisins, and alcohol. Sweet and heavy with sugar and hot alcohol.
