Lost Abbey Judgment Day

Bottle. Dark reddish pour. Resiny and thick - slightly medicinal. Tons of raisins everywhere, dark fruit, alcohol in the finish. Big malt character - toffee, brown sugar. Decent, I can see that, but I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Rerate - a big round quad, sweetness is well balanced by the alcohol content. Clearly well brewed. 750ml, cork and cage, at Blind Tiger.

on tap-pours a disappearing off white head and cloudy brown color with red tint. Aroma if funky medium malt. Taste is funky medium malt, spices, dark fruit-raisin. Not my taste.

Excellent. Brown pour with a decent tan head. Big malty nose with notes of figs, raisins. Flavor is extra rich and malty with a huge alcohol presence. Nice and robust body. Wonderful beer.

8th Big Beers, Belgians, and Barleywines. Pours clear brown with a small, frothy, off-white head, diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel), light hops (grass), average yeast (horse blanket, earth) with notes of dates and maple syrup. Full bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness and acidity, light bitterness.

Bottle, drank with X-mas dinner. Pours a dark ruby/brown color witha medium sized tan colored head. Aroma of huge sweet malts, raisins, prunes, figs, light caramel and toffee. Flavor is sweet malts, caramel, raisins, figs, honey, spice. Palate is full bodied, medium carbonation, finished sweet and warming. Fantastic.

750ml bottle from Pizza Port Solana Beach. What a beer! Poured a beautiful hazed mocha brown. Head was very small and tan in color. Some of the best lacing I’ve seen left on this glass. Nose was not quite as sweet as I was expecting, which was nice. I mostly got caramel, honey, spice, and of course some candied dark fruit aromas as well. Flavor was sweet and malty overall. Another great Lost Abbey brew!!

The beer is deep brown in color and looks just like root beer. The beer pours almost no head what-so-ever and the tiny amount that does pour fades quickly. The nose is filled with plum, currant, yeast, raisins, spice and clove. It is weighty in the mid-palate but light on its feet and comes off more medium-bodied than full. The flavors from the nose contnue but a hit of chocolate leads them through the mouth. The texture is very nice as it is on the silky and oily sides. This is an extremely nice Belgium-styled dark beer that if anything lacks a bit of concentration in the midpalate, though this is a minor complaint as it is a balanced beer that appears it will age well.

Thanks for sharing this rather tasty treat Ryan! Pours a hazy brown with a thin light tan head. Rich full nose. Chocolate, small roast. Small herbal notes. Dark fruit, rather figgy. Full rich creamy body. big creamy slightly boozy. Dark fruit roasty sweet. Tannic character, but mellow dark bitter chocolate balanced this well. Long roastier finish is the only downside on this lovely beer! I imagine this settling down with age to become a really lovely beer!
