Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for The Lost Abbey Judgment Day
◎ Appearance
Deep mahogany to dark brown in color with excellent clarity and a dense, tan head that persists gracefully. The beer displays the characteristic richness of a quad with an inviting, opaque appearance that hints at its malty complexity.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by complex dark fruit esters—plum, raisin, and fig—layered with warm Belgian yeast spice and subtle breadiness. Beneath these aromatics lies a deep caramel and toffee foundation that speaks to the substantial malt bill, with hints of spiced warmth characteristic of Belgian yeast strains.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with rich, decadent dark fruit and caramel sweetness that coats the mouth luxuriously. The mid-palate reveals layers of malty complexity with restrained spice and yeast character, balanced by a gentle 25 IBU bitterness that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The full body carries substantial weight throughout, with the 10.5% ABV providing a warming alcohol presence.
◑ Finish
The finish is long and warming with lingering dark fruit and caramel notes complemented by gentle spice. A subtle alcohol warmth builds gracefully, leaving a smooth, slightly sweet aftertaste that invites another sip.
