Lost Abbey - Judgement Day

A massive beer in every sense of the word. A stronger and more contemplative version of the Lost and Found Ale. Judgment Day is the base beer for the 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, you should 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 ABV is 10.5 and the IBU rating is 112
Style - Quadrupel
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 750ml Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a dark brown color with a big thick tan head. Some lacing.
Aroma - Sweet, dark fruits and caramel.
Taste -  Malty, dark dried fruits, some his of hops (not much).
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and body. 
Drinkable - My first impression is that its very similar to the Lost Abbey's Ten Commandments but not quite as good.  It does get a bit better as it warms to room temperature.  I will seek out another bottle to age a few years.  This rates as a very good American Quad but just an average Belgium Quad. 

This beer pairs well with cheese and smoked meats.

This beer gets a Duper rating of B+.
BeerAdvocate Rating =B+
Ratebeer Rating =99
