In anticipation of Dia De Los Muertos and inspired by the profound flavors of Mexican Chocolate, The Lost Abbey will be releasing it’s newest and very limited celebratory creation; My Black Parade.
Continuing The Lost Abbey’s trend in being inspired by worldly religious-based stories, My Black Parade tells the story of unrequited love being remembered each year on Dia De Los Muertos. A crowd of believers, that grows with each procession, making a yearly pilgrimage to an unmarked grave, waiting for true love to show up.
A blended Bourbon barrel-aged Strong Ale with cocoa nibs, vanilla bean and spices, My Black Parade will be limited to only 60 cases with all inventory sold online through The Lost Abbey Website.
Pouring darker than a moonless night, My Black Parade begins with a deep bouquet of rich chocolate and layered hints of cinnamon and oak. Huge flavors of cocoa on the palate with notes of vanilla, bourbon, and tobacco, finishing with crisp bite from the smoked chili’s and cardamom.

Bouteille 37.5cl via trade in Brussels. Brune, col crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez clairement indiqué par le Bourbon, effet d’épices de Noël en rétro, notamment pas mal de cannelle et girofle. Palais est épais, malté avec une bonne balance du Bourbon, touche d’alcool, pointe d’épices apportant ne fine touche de chaleur, l tout est complété par l’effet de la cannelle. Bourbon revient en retrait avec un effet boisé mais aussi un peu de Bourbon liquide - fond de verre - finemetn huileux.

Bottle sample at a a tasting at troubles’ place. Thanks Alon. Very dark brown to black. Big aroma of bourbon, vanilla, coconut, chocolate, dark fruits, caramel, nuts, a bit of spiciness. Sweet flavor with bourbon, vanilla, nuts, chocolate, caramel, dark fruits, a bit of spiciness, some booziness, and some hot chili in the finish. Full-bodied. Great.

Vintage 2016, 12% abv. Almost black beer, a head is medium and light brown. Aroma has dried fruits, raisins and dates, liquirice, bourbon and barrel, hint of spicyness and chocolate. Taste has dried fruitness, cinnamon and other spices, bourbon, strenght of alcohol, some darker chocolate-roastiness. Long taste. Maybe there is chilis because the cheeks are starting to warm. Only medium+ bodied, could be more strenght. Huge amount of different flavours but this brewery can manage to keep the balance, as also with this beer.

Bottle, 375ml corked, shared by Meilby. Close to black in the glass, topped by a dense, finger-thick dark beige head. The aroma has lots of cocoa nibs and cinnamon, with cardamom. alcohol, coconut, dark chocolate, booze, some coffee, a hint of dried fruits and some oak hints. It’s full-bodied, warming and soft on the palate, semi-sweet, with flavors of cocoa nibs, cinnamon, coconut, bourbon, some coffee and dark chocolate and a good sweetness. Everlasting finish with bourbon, cocoa nibs and spices. A true beauty, delicious as hell. 170312

@Ulfborg Scooper. Nearly black, small beige head. Syrupy aroma, light coffee and licorice and bourbon. Sweetish flavour, slightly boozy, syrupy and woody. Nice and very drinkable.
