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.

Anybody who likes whiskey will like this. I actually thought there should have been some Coke in my glass when I took a drink. This stuff is very strong and I don’t really consider it to be beer. It is quite original though.

Small 2 oz pour from the awesome kettle bottle, 2010 vintage. Obviously big, big impressions all the way around with this one -- heavy chocolate, currants, raisins, walnut, vanilla and caramel all rear there heads to my humble, uneducated palate. There’s the obvious, definite warmth. I’m not much of a liqueur guy, and this is more that than a beer, so I wouldn’t be inclined to spend the money. Thanks to my friend for sharing, though!

PhillyCraft (2110) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 3, 2013
10th ann bottle from Hayden, pours slightly clearish brown with no head or lace. Notes are straight whiskey, maple syrup, wood, and rich fruit favors. That’s about all she wrote. Not as bad as I thought it would be for a sam adams product. Very warming in chest.

En smaksbombe! Lukt av bek og tjære. Smak av sherry, rødvin og andre fruktige smaker. Melkebaren.

nilsas (162) - Bryne, NORWAY - MAY 22, 2013
En utrolig herlig lukt rødvin og kanel og kirsebær. En skarp nesten sherry lignende smak. En utrolig god øl som desert øl. Et øl man bør drikke vann mellom hver munnfull for å få frem den fulle smaken. Minus er pris.

isleofman (7) - 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.

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 (503) - 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.
