Once upon a time it was the most award winning Pizza Port beer of all time. Now it has found a new home at The Lost Abbey.
A massive brown ale base that is made from four fermentable sugars including Malted Barley, Raisins, Candi Sugar and Sour Cherries, this beer is fully fermented before being placed in Bourbon barrels where the beer ages for one year with the Sour Cherries and the wild Brettanomyces yeast that we inoculate the barrels with.
One of the most complex and unique beers we make each year.

Sampled on draft at 3 Rivers this beer poured a dark brown color with a large creamy beige head that left good lacing. The aroma was sour and woody with red wine and soy sauce. The flavor was very sour with notes of wood, red wine vinegar and soy sauce. Long finish. Medium body.

Taster at Trail's End. Pours an opaque brown color, with a big, foamy, tan head. The aroma is tart cherries, brown sugar, anise, lime peel, allspice, and light yogurt. Gets deeper as it warms, with layers of fruit and malt character. Perfectly balanced sour and sweet flavors. Medium body, with a sharp, malty feeling, and a surprisingly clean finish. This is a superb sour. Great balance and complexity.

Bottled, enormous thanks Vran! Randomly stumbled on a tasting, got a glass of this in my hands. :D Dark brown-black body. The aroma is interesting, soft maltiness, mead-like notes too, vague cherry, maybe a tart touch, vague acetone-like subtle note that throws me off a little. The taste immediately redeems it, full soft maltiness, dry cherry notes, light tartness. Classy all in all, excellent beer, that bar a single off-key note in the aroma truly confirms its reputation as a world classic. Hats off!

Flaska från David, tack! Har säkert något år på nacken om inte mer. Flask-stämpel utsuddad mestadels. Det är en kladdig flaska och jag får knappt en pop när jag öppnar korken. I glaset en brunmurken, smutsig vätska som knappt ger en krona i skum. Stor doft av kola, smörkola, mörka körsbär, mörka bär, kolaremmar, bourbon, fat, russin och torkad frukt. Slät kropp med stor fatkaraktär. I smaken syrliga körsbärskärnor, rödvinsvinäger, banankola, maltsötma, tunga bäriga marmeladtoner, bitande syrlighet och nästan lite stalltoner i avslutningen. Ruskigt mäktig! Snygg kombination av en i grunden mäktig quad (Judgment Day) och röd suris - och så bourbon och körsbär på det.

On tap at Toronado, San Diego. Pours dark brown with reddish haze, off white head.some dried fruit, cherries, dark fruit, malty, raisins, wood. Bit vinous. Quite smooth. Complex. Medium bodied. Easier to drink than expected, especially considering the ABV and style.
