IF YOU’RE LIKE ME and prowl the shelves of well-stocked beer stores, you may have seen a stream of new Belgian-style beers in corked, 750 ml bottles from the Lost Abbey in Southern California.

It’s a stream of hits and misses, and when there’s hit, it’s fantastic. One of the hits is Judgment Day (HHH1/2), about $8, a powerful 10.5 percent dark beauty, fermented with raisins. It’s our Beer of the Week.
