What about the beer?
Colour is thick dark brown with only a thin white crown. Aroma has temptingly delicious milk chocolate, raisins and vanilla. Taste starts with gentle sweet hops and smooth milk chocolate. Liquid chocolate holds the scepter but lightly roasted coffee, raisins, cherries and warming alcohol party in the background. Towards the end there's a bite of alcohol and some sweet bitterness. Aftertaste is dry and has the main flavour of bitter cocoa. 

Thinking I ordered the original Judgment Day I was thrilled that the beer turned out to be a tuned version with chili, cinnamon and tamarind. With or without some help from the spices, I was blown away by the deep, neverending melting chocolate flavour. The only sad thing is that I'm still craving for the actual Judgment Day. The beer, you wankers.

Even though the Mayan profecies meant actually nothing like the idiotic doomsday theories born during the 2012 phenomenom, we'll have to bring something from the Judgment Day here. The beer surely is heavy and unforgettable but in a heavenly delicious way. This one tells a story about unforgiveness born from an individual undeserved hell:
