30ml at Mikkeller Bar, served in a tiny tulip tumbler. Legs on glass. Smells of sherry and the taste follows. Mid bodied. Some burn in the finish. Enjoyable, although I preferred Brewdog’s Tactical Nuclear Penguin.

Bottle share at DLD. Sweet boozy oaky aroma. Clear copper, no head. Syrupy sweet vinous dark fruit, woody, plum flavor with a light lemony finish. Smooth full, hot boozy body. Reminds me a lot of of a strong plum wine or a madeira. Was good, but not in a beer kind of way, and not worth the crazy price tag, in my opinion. Many thanks to the guy in line at DLD who was willing to share!

Det går inte att mäta hastighet med en barometer och av samma anledning är frågan om Utopias ska recenseras som en öl över huvud taget. Det är russin och det är plommon och det är en jäkla massa smaker som är mer likör än nåt annat. Allt förpackat i en löjligt snygg flaska. 10th anniversary-varianten i det här fallet.

Big thanks to Peter for this, 2012. Maple syrup and lots of booze. I don’t even know how much of a beer this is, but it’s a knock on the head for sure. Maple syrup comes out in the way it pours down the side of the glass - the stuff literally oozes down the glass at a slow pace after a sip. Some of the drips never come all the way down. Too much alcohol in initial aroma - very syrupy. No carbonation, no head, no lacing. Just syrupy thickness that moves like the blob. Straight liquor that finishes sweet and bitter.

2 ounce pour. Aromas are heavy booze and bourbon. Sipping this sends the fire through your nostrils with some soy syrupy malt. Glad I tried this, but I’d never buy a bottle.

Would definitely describe the appearance as ’fiery’. No head. Viscous. Aroma is extremely powerful, intoxicating, and complex. Smelling it was almost as enjoyable as tasting. Full syrupy body but also sort of ’delicate’ in a way. A very enjoyable sipping experience (in my limited sips).

One of a kind. Vet inte om detta går att definera som öl men fantastiskt gott var det. Kostar så smakar det. Smak och doft av vanilj, ekfat, russin, läder, portvin, sherry, cognac, brand. Len och god och att den ligger på 32% alkohol känns inte. Välbalanserad. En smakupplevelser utöver det vanliga. Får se när det finns pengar över för att åtnjuta denna öl nästa gång.

Aroma: Smelling of bouillon, bourbon, oak and vanilla.
Appearance: A ruby copper colored beer. A high off-white head with some lacing and good curtains.
Taste: Tasting brown sugar, figs, raisins, Madeira, bourbon and oak.
Palate: Low carbonation, a warm and oily texture. A good body with a slightly dry finish.
Overall: A real treat, no doubt about it.
Note: Bottle at De Klomp. (Vintage 2012) Reviewed 2013-03-16.

Tasting from a snifter. The biggest downfall of this beer is the aroma, which gives away the alcohol content of Utopias as soon as it is poured. However, it goes down shockingly smooth, and closes out with incredible maple syrup flavor. I would never put the money out for this myself, but I am glad I had the opportunity to give it a shot.

(Critique chaotique du extreme beer fest 2013): (cuvée 2012): Présence en bouche extrordinaire, beaucoup plus facile à boire que prévu. Prunes en avant plan, beaucoup de sucre, excellent spiritueux.
