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.

Bottle thanks to kegbear!
Nut brown, bubbly beige head. Super sweet nose of raisin, molasses, cocoa and plum. Flavor is similar, incredibly sweet molasses and raisin with stronger chocolate. Sticky, short finish. This nears imperial stout except for the roast elements. If you like sweet, sugary beers, try this one. Otherwise, the simplicity and overwhelming sweetness make this only good, at best.

Aroma of raisins and malt. Flavor is big time malt - sweet and dark. Also strong flavors or raisins and prunes. The malt and raisins compliment each other well. Mouthfeel was syrupy. Good for sipping, but the syrupy sweetness was almost too much.

Pours a nice dark brown, almost purple color with a thin off-white head. Aroma was huge, dark fruits, molasses, a lot of spiciness, but the biggest note was raisins and an almost vinous quality. The raisin smell was almost overwhelming. Flavor was rich and thick, a lot of caramel, molasses, dark cherries, plums, very dark fruity and malty. The mouthfeel was almost chewy and coated your tongue almost like a good piece of chocolate. Very nice beer.

After sitting on this for a year I decided it was time to open it. In trying to thin the cellar I have been picking some of the best things sitting around. This is quite good and worth checking it if you run across it.

Aroma / Appearance - The gradiated body starts golden and turns deep brown towards the bottom. The lacing took its time to sink into the chewy liquid. Dry and slightly tart it blends raisins, rye, hay, and roasted almonds.

Flavor / Palate - Fluid and chewy the mouthfeel clings to the tongue. Melted chocolate, cinnamon, raisin bran, and some spiciness give it a nice kick. I wonder what this one was like fresh; I bet it has changed over the past ten months.

Enjoyable beer. Tap at Deep Ellum. Sugar and rasiny nose. Taste of caramel, some non citrus fruits, and a little booze.

Really nice beer. Pours a deep murky color. The nose is dark fruit, raisins, and some sweetness. This beer is a year or two old so it has mellowed nicely. Very damn tasty beer.
