COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
To create Utopias, the brewers at Sam Adams used traditional brewing ingredients including all four types of Noble hops, which add a slightly earthy, herbal taste. The spiciness of the hops really comes alive. In fact, Utopias MMII has even been described by some as almost "fiery" -- a fitting description for the strongest beer in history. Beyond the special brand of hops, Utopias features ingredients that truly set it apart from other varieties of beer. Utopias MMII contains caramel and Vienna malts for its rich amber color and several different types of yeast including a variety found in champagne. $100 a bottle and it's limited to 3000 bottles, which look like copper brew kettles.

Finally picked up a bottle of this. I love the bottle, only wish it was bigger! 2ish oz. pour into a snifter. Nose is big, rich, sweet maple syrup with vanilla, cherries, chocolate, and molasses notes in the mix. Very complex and rich aromas. The color is a ruby/brown color with no head. Taste is booze, with vanilla, molasses, some cherry, more maple, brown sugar, and caramel. I was very pleased with this and can’t wait to see how it behaves over time.

isleofman (6) - oslo, NORWAY - MAY 5, 2013 does not count
72 cl flaske, 225 kr for 4 cl. Purpur rød farge. Minner om fatlagret sherry mer enn portvin eller cognac. Tørket frukt og karamell i smak. Tørr finish. 4 cl virker lite for en øl men den drikkes som en typisk avec, og smaken eksploderer i munnen. Varer lenge.

Had the 10th Anniversary- 29.3% ABV. WOW!!! Deep dark levels of fruit and malt. Small sips, small sips.

snzcujo (274) - RUSSIA - MAY 4, 2013
Tasted from the bottle, @Mikkeller bar, Copenhagen, 04/05/2013. Pours ultra muddy, ditty dark brown, with some particles floating in it. Aroma is phenomenal, no alcohol at all! Raisins, dried fruits, some port notes, slightly woody. Taste is immediately warming, but with signs of booze again. A lot of sweetness, dark fruits, cherries, plums, slight tart cherry notes in the end. Aftertaste is alcohol tickling, with lovely sweet prunes character. A beer to drink on very special occasions, for sure - Recommended+ ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

magdalar (498) - Zurich, SWITZERLAND - APR 30, 2013
Bottle pour at Mikkeller&Friends from the 10th anniversary. Smells intense, of sweet brown sugar, alcohol. Tastes sweet, intense dark fruits, and tons of alcohol. Palate is harsh alcohol. Finishes sweet and strong.

Poured from a bottle, at Hank is Wiser, priced per oz. danish style ( lol) 2011? bottle I believe. Rich caramel elixir, smells super rich decadent even and taste is no surprise. big strong flavors of caramel and vanilla come through no real burn though which I expected at 27% thats the most shocking thing, how smooth this is. great sipping stuff. glad to try this.

Line share at DLD: 10th Anniversary 29% copper/brown....no discernible head. Boozy bourbon,caramel, wine aroma. Flavour of dark wine, fruits, caramel... Almost a chocolate/sugary, molasses feel... Amazingly smooth for the ABV...though it does sting and kick a bit. Impressive. Many thanks to the generous folks who wanted to share a taste!

Bottle (shared by a great guy at DLD13). Orange, cherry alcohol aroma. Dark amber color. Very sweet vinous plum malt flavor. Cinnamon in the finish. Very pleasant sipper (obviously) - surprisingly smooth.

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.
