Lost Abbey Judgment Day

One of my favorite styles, I wished I liked this more. Raision aroma. Sweet with yeast and bitter grain. Belgian yeast in the aroma and flavor. Not too bad, but it seems like something might be a little off.

Bottle shared by mreusch. Pours a deep brown with purplish highlights and a thin ring of beige bubbles clinging to the edge of the snifter. On the nose are deep dark fruit, sugar plum, light chocolate, wood and alcohol. Medium to full-bodied and oily with a dry, woody, warm finish. Plum, raisin and other dark fruit notes rounding out with a warm, woody finish. This beer might be better suited to a January evening than one in June, but it’s pretty damned good. Thanks a lot for sharing it with me, Matt!

Bottle: pours a dark plum color with a thin tan head, aroma of dark fruits and malt, taste is dark fruits, dry, maybe some dark chocolate, just a touch of some bitterness, fairly full mouthfeel. This is a nice quad.

This one poured a dark burgandy color with a small off white head. The aroma is of plums, dark fruit, caramel, and raisins. It has a really nice smell to it with a lot of complex smells. The flavors are really nice as well of chocolate, dark fruit, and a lot of stewed raisins and figs. Plums, sweet caramel, and some alcohol notes are picked up as well and add depth. The raisins give this a nice sweetness to it all. Medium bodied with a full almost creamy mouthfeel that is smooth and easy to drink with a sweet, warming finish. I liked the complexity in this one. Another great beer from the Lost Abbey.

750ml bottle, pours a plum juice color with a very minimal fizzy tan head that’s gone almost immediately and sits still and headless in the glass. Aroma is fermented raisins, plum, chocolate, brown sugar and ripe dark fruits; nice stuff on the nose and opens up nicely as it warms. Flavor is also pleasant, with more plum, raisin, and other fresh dark fruits, along with a light sweetness. Fairly warming without being alcoholic. This is a nice beer, not super stellar, but very solid and tasty.

Bottle:Deep, blood-red pour with a sizeable tan head. Massive notes of raisins, figs and dark malts with some mild baker’s chocolate and nutty tones. Medium-full body with a slight tingly finish...flavor is of dark fruits, bitter dark chocolate. As it sat, it began to take on some earthy, vinous qualities which took it to a whole new level. Solid brew.

This dark brown ale poured with a short beige head that quickly subsided. There is a candy and malt aroma. The flavor is chocolate malt with a smooth slightly bitter finish, and there is a bit of carbonation throughout.

Bottle thanks to davinci. Dark brown with beige head and lacing. Plum and alc with a little red fruit, malt sweetne. Plum, some alc (not in a bad way), red fruit, roasted malt, a little tobacco. A little syrupy medium body. A perfectly in style abt, this is quite well done.
