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.

I got a lot of fruit flavors without sweetness, vinous, texture and body without heavy sugars or syrupy feel. Obviously experimental, well put together and seemingly on target. Becomes more alcoholic as it warms. Definitely not something I could jump into and enjoy from the get go but was charming as I spent time with it.

Great artwork and story on the bottle. This beer pours a dark molasses color with little to no light penetrating. It isn’t quite black but almost. Not much head formed from a rather aggressive pour, and what did form dissipated quickly except for a bit of lacing circling the glass that stayed throughout. Aroma is popping out of the glass with hints of dark raisins, molasses, brown sugar, and a tad bit of spice. The flavor is very similar dominated by dark fermented fruits (plums, raisins, etc.) with sweet dark chocolate and cocoa in the finish. Outstanding flavor beer!

From bottle : Pours a very dark color with some slight ruby tones if you get the light shining through it just right. Not much head, but pretty nice lacing. The nose is pretty good, but not as complex as some other really nice quads. Dark fruits, raisins, figs and plums are the most dominant. Taste is really nice and smooth, with dark fruits and raisins, with some roasted malts. Not much of an aftertaste. Very nice and smooth texture, and a just right body. Pretty freakin nice Quad if ya ask me.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very dark, almost black. Velvet aroma, modest alcoholic. Tastes strong and malty, a little bit prickly, soft-velvet finish, notes of cinnamon. Very drinkable for its strenght. Great beer! Big thanks to Kaggie97 for the bottle!

Pours a clear brown with an off-white head. Very sweet with strong aromas of raisins, figs, dates and plums. Also a hint af toasted malts. Full bodied. Medium to high carbonation. Sweet, dry finish with more dried fruits. Good.
