Lost Abbey Judgment Day

Brown...small, lingering,swirling amber head. Aroma of malt and cane syrup. Big sweet malt, raisin, prune, plum, fig, molassas & cocoa flavors. Rich like a thick hot chocolate fudge drink. Hingy bingy walla boom. Finish is a bitter chocolate, mineral, cola, wine, brown sugar behometh.

Pours dark brown- almost black with one finger beige head. Aroma is dominated by dark fruit- fruity malt, apple, raisin, plum, apriot, peach, and grape all show though. Flavor is powerful and prevalent, again riddled with notes of fruit and malt. Biscuit, and dark fruit take over. Palate is thick and rich with some definite creamyness- sweet finish. Another complex, well balanced and expertly crafted ale from this amazing brewery.

Thanks Irishboy! Bottle. Very deep ruby/mahogany, tan head. Nose is raisin, toffee, yeasty clay, tobacco, light char & floral notes underneath, chicory. Flavor is raising & cherry, alcohol & yeast, dark fruits abound & are balanced by woody chicory. A kind of smoky bitterness as well. Yeast & alcohol come out more in the finish w. growing bitterness. Great light body but the alcohol is a bit overwhelming.

dark ruby pour, dissipating head. dark fruit nose, incredible, dates, plums, molasses, . slight alcohol on the mouth.

Poured a semi-clear dark mahogany with a small fizzy off-white head. Nice aroma of some dark fruits, a bit of smokiness, some alcohol. Flavor is lightly sweet with notes of dark fruits (but not too raisiny, which I was happy to find), some smoke, a bit of dark chocolate, some lightly metallic alcohol. Body felt a bit thin and flat. A good brew, with nice complexity, though just a shade or two below excellent.

I got a lot of fruit flavors without sweetness, vinous, texture and body without heavy sugars or syrupy feel. Obviously experimental, well put together and seemingly on target. Becomes more alcoholic as it warms. Definitely not something I could jump into and enjoy from the get go but was charming as I spent time with it.

Bottle, about a year old. Opaque dark brown pour. Aroma is initially a lot of bubblegum, sort of burny / nutty malt also. Flavor is sweet/ rich dark fruit, bubblegum, roasted and burnt aftertaste. Maybe some grassy yeast in the finish also.

Not real noticable aroma. Sort of same as other Lost Abbeys. Lovely rich brown color with very dark purple hues. Dark tan head that doesn’t linger very long. Make sure it gets warm. Tastes come out MUCH more when it’s closer to room temp. Great rasin flavor that devlops and hits all sides of the mouth. Fantastic rich flavor of molasses and raisins. Damn that was good.
