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.
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.

Botella de 38.5 cl en el lúpulo en septiembre de 2013. la segunda de la marca y no hace más que sorprenderme cada vez mas. Intensos sabores dulces de frutas pasas y un cuerpo potente de 10.5 vol que hacen muy duradera. Para repetir sin duda alguna. Imprescindible.

Draft - Raisin, plum, tobacco and dark sugary malts. Murky mahogany with a thin brown head. Lots of dark fruit and burnt sugar. Long finish and a bit sour. I had this fresh on tap, I think it would be better with some age.

Bottle at home. Two years old. The colour is cloudy dark and deep brown with a creamy beige medium head. Sweet aroma of dried fruit, oak and leather. The flavours is similar with a touch of alcohol. Balanced. Has a rich and slick mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A well-balanced and solid beer. Maybe less exciting than expected, but has a nice aroma.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ RBESG 2013. Thx! to jmgreenuk. Pours a dark brown, creamy tanned head. Nose is faintly hoppy, BE yeast, chocolate, some dark fruits & raisins. Taste is bitter, lightly hoppy, quite sweet, sweet spices, sweet raisins, touch copper, sweet malty, BE yeast, touch thin, dark fruits & raisin, some booze in the finish,… Fizzy, touch lighter body. Decent enough but probably not correlating with cost & certainly not kind of the style. Enjoyed Mayan Apocalypse version quite a bit more.

75cl Bottle at RBESG ’13 Grand Tasting. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, brown sugar, caramel, liqourice. Flavour is very sweet, brown sugar, some dark fruit, a little malty, fruity, bitter-sweet finish with some liquorice. Medium-bodied, a bit over-carbonated. An overly sweet BSA imho. Expected a lot more from this.
