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.

Bottled. A murky red-brown beer with a thin rim of head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of over ripe fruits and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, prunes, and over ripe fruit, leading to a dry and slightly woody finish.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Very unclear reddish brown. Very fruity aroma - some roastiness as well. Very full-bodied and fruity with yeasty accents. The finish is dry and surprisingly hoppy. Not a bad beer as it is, but I think this will gain with some more age on it. 090507

Bottled. Dark mahogany, brief head. Aroma of cocoa powder. Sweet and soft, full bodied. Lots of dark chocolate with notes of hay and orange. Intriguing up front, but I didn’t find as much depth as I hoped. Good - not fantastic.

Bottled (thanks stoutlover72!). Deep amberybrown colour, small head. Aroma is raisins, plum, some alcohol and mild notes of fruits. Flavour is fruits, alcohol, raisins, ashes and liquorice as well as some spicyness. Dry bittery grass, coffee and some yeast as well. Complex and quite good beer in it’s style.

Source: Mail Order
Vintage: 2007
Appearance: dark muddy brown with ruby edges, wispy beige head, touch of drippy lace
Flavor: sweet malt flavor with lots of dates and raisons and other ripe dark fruits plus a hint of alcohol after warming a bit
Overall: rich malt flavor, lots of ripe fruit, balancing roasted bitterness is a bit too much and distracting and should fade with age, only a touch of sweetness comes with warming but the bitterness holds it back from being all it should be, richness continues to grow and picks up some chocolate along the way

Score: 3.9 to 4.1
Appearance: clear dark brown with ruby edges, fine tan head, bits of lace
Aroma: rich and sweet fruity aroma, light spicyness
Flavor: rich fruity flavor, caramel sweetness brings out the rich ripe fruity esters, light bitterness still present but has subsided allowing the fruit character to emerge, nice spicyness, fleeting hint of alcohol
Overall: age is helping this one along nicely

Bright golden-brown colour. Aroma of figs and raisins, and lots of chewy dark malts and hints of molasses. Complex palate with some nice dark fruit character and rich, sweet malts. Long finish and full body.
