COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Five thousand years ago the Mayan Calendar last turned over. Since then, Nostradamus, The Book of Revelations and random Shaman have all prognosticated that mankind would meet a fateful end. Currently, our demise is scheduled for December 21, 2012 for it has been so decreed our world is about to end not in a Christian Judgment Day but rather a Mayan Apocalypse. Funny thing is, the Mayans don’t actually believe in the concept of an Apocalypse. We at The Lost Abbey didn’t want to miss an opportunity to update our original Judgment Day recipe to accompany us as we collide towards this impending Rapture. Like us, we’re pretty sure you can believe in dried Chiles, Cinnamon and Tamarind working well together in this beer. This means you can count on this little bottle of beer to help you survive this cultural Armageddon. Please pop the cork and enjoy this version. We’ve got you covered. See you on December 22nd wherever life may take us.

OmegaX (977) - Florida, USA - JAN 14, 2013
Aroma is thick with heavy red fruits, some cinnamon and light cocoa. Spices and yeast are all over this one. Very thick aromas. Pour is reddish with a nice brown head. There are a ton of spices in the flavor, with some yeast and light alcohol notes. Tamarind comes out a bit in this brew as it warms up. Very bold brew. Good stuff.

kryon (702) - SWEDEN - APR 13, 2013
Pours dark dark dark brown with medium latte brown head Aromas of chilies and actually hints of cinnamon, bready malts, not a lot of belgian yeastyness though Nice liqourichy taste where chilies are present as well. Almost a bit stingy.

Valgreen (15) - DENMARK - MAY 24, 2013
12 oz Bottle in vejle, 23/5 2013. Very dark brown, with medium lasting off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of raisins, honey, wine, spices, some booze. Taste off grapes, honey, liquorice, spicy and dry at the end. Some dark chocolate in the aftertaste. Remind me off spicy wine. Palate is pleasant, very carbonated at first and then mellows out. Not my kind of beer, but still good.

DesertDevil (197) - Arizona, USA - JAN 9, 2013
Bottle. Pours a dark, murky brown with a uniform paper-thin khaki head. Raisins and cocoa dominate the nose with a touch of dry ancho. Taste of cinnamon, unsweetened chocolate, some molasses, and the faintest note of chile (mainly poblano) spiciness. Smooth palate overall, though there’s an odd dryness in the middle and a pleasant tingling on the tongue courtesy of the cinnamon and spices. Solid beer, but the additions don’t really make it that much more distinct from Judgment Day.

Wittales (440) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - JAN 30, 2013
Appearance was hazy brown with creamy lasting tannish 1/2 head, no lacing. Aromas are sweet malts, spices , chilis, funky yeasty bready thing going on. Taste are funky yeasts, touches of sweet deep malts, raisin, plum, cinnamon, chili heat. Palate was soft creamy CO2 with full body, then fruity lasting warming alcoholic yeasty finish. Different brew...

Prufrockstar (200) - Seattle, Washington, USA - DEC 24, 2012
Dark brown pour, tan head, moderate retention. Aroma is Belgian-esters, spice (cinnamon and cloves), dark fruit. Taste is quite spicy, hint of chiles at the end in the back of the throat. Lively carb, slick mouthfeel. Taste lingers nicely. Overall: I haven't had the regular judgment day, but this is nice. The hint of spice is cool - without it I'm not sure I'd be able to distinguish it from other good quads. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Nose is chocolate and coffee with some herbal notes. Taste is quite chocolatey as well with caramel, dark fruit and coffee. Nice sting from the chili towards the end. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
