Judgement Day is a profound and contemplative Abbey-style Quadruple ale from The Lost Abbey, enhanced in this rendition with the addition of raisins. This dark and complex ale is brewed to be rich and warming, with the raisins contributing a natural sweetness and depth of fruit character that complements the traditional notes of a Belgian Quad. It's a beer meant for slow sipping and contemplation.
