4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 wetherel (1836) - Encinitas, California, USA - APR 8, 2007UPDATED: OCT 9, 2007 Maaallllty! Yeah! It’s really great to try a dark beer, where the dark color comes from something other than roasted malts...in this case raisins I think. Sweet molasses, plums, vanilla and raisins. I’ve tried other beers with raisins and haven’t been impressed, but Judgment Day is really delicious. I bought a growler at Port Brewing Company’s tasting room. the alcohol is well suppressed. It supposed to be brewed in limited quanties so I’b going to buy one to store for a year. Again, great beer. My highest rating yet: 4.6.

Bottle share from Donny... Aroma is of dark fruit and quad. The appearance is a maroonish brown with a fizzy tan head. The taste starts out of a fizzy, dark fruit that rolls into raisin and finishes with some dry dark malt. The palate is fizzy and dark. Overall, this is a very well done quad. Not over the top with the raisin of quad taste. Very easy drinking for being such a big beer.
