[...] impact on the Beer and Whiskey Brother’s Blog. You see about a year ago I did a review of Lost Abbey’s beer Judgement Day. It is a very raisiny sweet stout with virtually no carbonation. I believe the year I had it [...]

Yeah, it was about as carbonated as apple juice. But dude, what is up with your blog? It is a pretty good one, but you got to get out here, and post a little more. You could do really well. Hell, just look at us two idiots. If we can do it you can for sure. You have a good start just keep posting.

Flat Abbey strikes again! Nice review.

I will have to wait for the non carbonated stuff to work its way out of the system. We still have the bad yeast stuff on the shelves out here. Hopefully it will work its way through the system quickly, otherwise the Judgement Day would have been outstanding.

Yeah LA had a big problem last year with carbonation. All my stuff from the sinners club was flat. Some beers like Angels Share and Older Vis still come out pretty good when flat. Good news is, the latest batch of Brandy Share is carbonated. So hopefully that problem is fixed now. Tomme took a lot of slack last year for the lack of the bubbles

I think I will avoid them for a time. If they can get that problem fixed it would be great brew. You would think they would take that shit off of the market if they know it is sub par, or at least sell it for a reasonable price not the $16 I paid for it.

It’s a particular with a lot of Lost Abbey brews. They got some bad yeast last year.

This brew had all the makings of a great belgian style quad, but it fell flat (pun intended). I have heard from several people that this is a particular problem with this brew. I was hopeful that mine would be better, but no joy.

This one is pretty decent but the carbonation thing really is a problem. I drank some Koningshoeven quad on tap the other night…terrific. I agree, for the most part, about Belgian quads being best.

I remember you telling me about the Pannepot, and how much everyone liked it. This was a little heavy handed which did make it a little run of the mill. I reviewed another Belgian quad a while back the 10 from Trappist Rocheford. It was better than the judgement day, thus supporting your claim that Belgians make the best Belgian beer.

Sounds like a run of the mil quad, Don. We did a flight of these for a Simply Beer podcast a while back, and I was surprised how satisfying some were and how pedestrian others were. I learned that when it comes to quads, go Belgian from Belgium, and you should do okay. My favorite was the Pannepot Old Fisherman’s Ale. It was amazingly subtle, especially for a beer with an ABV over 10. I just found a couple of bottles, which are now chilling in the garage…
