[GABF 2006 – Denver, Co]
A deep reddish color nectar. This was a high high in alcohol concoction. Beer it could have been but it was a liquor for sipping and only sipping. Jim Koch poured my brew and it was awesome. A mosh pit to get and a wonderful experience what a fun drink to have at the GABF. Thanks Jim.

Nov 21, 2009 A one ounce pour at hop devil grille with Thor, Luis, Kara and others. Amazing aroma of figs, funky doughy bateria, molasses... Literally stings the nostrels. Intense mouth unlike any other.. Brutal sting and sweet malt scotch and port. Has a delicious side taste like deisel fuel. I had this as an appetizer and only wish I could everyday.

Nov 20, 2009 Rating number 2800. Bottle thanks to Tran and Chris at Perry’s. Pours with a clear, brandy colored body and legs that just don’t stop. Aroma of maple, fusel alcohol, oak, raisins, caramel, dates and alcohol burn. Taste starts with dryness from the bourbon, sweet raisins from the sherry and all sorts of caramelized notes, flan, maple, toffee. Waves and waves of sweet liquor. Port and noble rot. Ultra syrupy mouthfeel with a nice burn. Excellent

Big whisky aroma. Mid brown coloured very strong in alcohol and sweet on the palate with a warming smooth chocolate coffee and malt finish.

Nov 16, 2009 Very dark in color, hints of vanilla, and toffee, sticks to the side of the glass. Full mouth flavor that makes you lick your lips and your tongue dance in your mouth. Finishes with a slight bitterness and hints of bourbon that last long after you finish your sample.

Nov 14, 2009 2009 edition; 2 oz. shot at Palmer Place; $20. If you’re a beer geek, this is the one everyone will ask you about, so let’s get my cherry popped here. Bright brown in tiny snifter. Deep alcoholic smell makes my eyes water. It’s 54 proof, after all; should be considered a peer or a liqueur? Also some vanilla and sour cherry in the nose. Could this be served flambé? I try to hold some on my tongue for tasting. It’s vinous and very strong. Again with cherries, and cassis. I am irresistibly drawn to keep sniffing its sherry and brandy nose. Sherry in taste joined by vanilla, figs, more sherry, pear. A brew transfigured beyond hops and malt. Palmer Place got 6 bottles of this.

Nov 14, 2009 Big thanks to daknole for sharing this. Wow, this smells great. Caramel, raisins, molasses,vanilla and booze. Similar flavors. Very rich and boozy. Very much like a cognac. Zero carbonation. A nice sipper.

Nov 13, 2009 2009 bottle. Wow. Pretty excited to finally drink this one. Pours a clear brown with no head. Aroma is caramel, nutty, maple, cherries, and raisins with tons of booze. Flavor is raisins, maple, oak and vanilla. Warming mouthfeel. The legs on this beer are ridiculous. Never seen anything like it from a beer. Delicious!

11/06/2009: Samuel Adams Utopias... Aroma: Luscious blend of vanilla, honey, caramel, toffee, toasted wood; the alochol is intense in the nose, but of high caliber and quite welcoming. Appearance: Rich, deep honey-amber color; still. Flavor: Sweet, but not cloying; rich and very complex; intense maltiness; dates and prunes; elements of cognac and dry bourbon definite come through; rich; pleasing burn though the nose; very warming. Palate: Medium body; sticky. Overall: Excellent sipper; I am glad that I finally got to try this beer as it is delicious, but probably not worth the price (~$170 per 24 per fl. oz. bottle!; I would love to have it again though...
Sample at Party Town in Florence, Kentucky. Rating #440 for this beer.
