The Judgment Day story
The story has been told and we have been warned about this very moment- Judgment Day and the end of the world as we cease to know it. There will be but one instance where the sunny blue pastoral skies turn sickly black revealing the imminent demise of every soul caught between heaven and hell. From the skies the angels of heaven will race to rescue the virtuous souls before the thundering herd of the 4 Horsemen arrive from the depths of hell to claim more than their fair share.
Each of us will ride a wave of terror or relief not knowing from which lot our souls have been cast. It is wholly possible that the Sinners and Saints alike will unite. For sure, each will thrash about in the tumultuous sea of uncertainty not knowing in this abyss whether they bear the mark of the Father or the mark of the Beast himself.
There will be a litany of screams from the departing souls riding bareback on the shoulders of the Black Horse. Each of us will be examined and our lives will be scrutinized. It is decreed and so written. Life as we know it will one day cease to exist. Surely you will stand there having all your questions answered.
Did you believe there would be a Judgment Day? Have you ever thought about what you’ll be doing when the Four Horsemen arrive? Perhaps you’ll be drinking this Belgian Dark Quad styled Ale when they appear? However, since we have no idea when our time will expire or when we’ll be forced to cash in our tickets, we offer this simple advice.
Live an inspired life. Find opportunities in everything to make a difference. Seek out new and spontaneous adventures and when you find them, embrace them as if they were the devil’s song. For an interesting life is one worth living. Challenge yourself to embrace passion, persistence and a motivated way of life. So that when Judgment Day arrives from nowhere, you’ll go out knowing full well that you’ve lived your life on your terms and they can’t take that away from you.

Bottle at the Mondiale ’07
Quite dark cloudy brown color. not much head to speak of.
Aroma is VERY sweet, lots of raisin, and plum and borwn sugar, with some yeasty notes. Flavour is VERY sweet, and boozey. Mouthfeel is quite thick this is very syrup like. I have to admit i was disapointed. I expected more after the hype i had heard. Its not an awful beer, but i expected more from this brewery.

On-tap at Eureka! Irvine on 30th December 2021. Last beer of a very pleasant two hours sat at the bar. Dark, moody looking beer, the head a beige wisp and collar; came too cold and therefore had no aroma at first, cupped the glass in my hands to try and warm it up a bit, malty coffee esters arrived alongside some toffee and sultana like aromas eventually. The taste was also malt dominated and again there was a toffee and raisin/sultana twist to the brew. The experience was ruined by the coldness of the pour, shame really as it got better and better as it warmed, but my lift was waiting, so I had to rush it.
