Feel free to stop by. Bill R. So… I got a job at the wine bar and tonight was my first training night. But yeah I might be up for a beer share that day.
Keep me posted! Brian B. Propose Edit Propose Duplicate. Check-in Add. Add Check-in. Each release is a blend of batches, some having been aged up to 16 years in the barrel room of our Boston Brewery, in a variety of woods.
We aged a portion of the beer in hand-selected, single-use bourbon casks from the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery. Some of the latest batches also spent time in Portuguese muscatel finishing casks, as well as sherry, brandy and Cognac casks. This flavorful, slightly fruity brew has a sweet, malty flavor that is reminiscent of a deep, rich vintage port, fine cognac or aged sherry.
Show Less. Each Utopias we explore uncharted territory with new blending techniques. And each new Utopias blend is made from an array of earlier years, some of the extreme beers already aged up-to 30 years. We finish the blend in still another variety casks that deepen the final flavor. This beer is just as special to all of us at Sam Adams as to you. Since Utopias was first released, each ceramic bottle gets a number on the bottom that corresponds with the order in which they were hired.
Founder and Brewer Jim Koch gets bottle number 1, of course. Utopias drinks like no other beer on the planet. Serve at room temperature and an ounce or two of this ruby-black liquid into Utopias glass or brandy snifter.
Sip, savor, appreciate. We like Utopias with dishes like clam chowder, a really nice steak, and desserts like pineapple upside-down cake. It follows celebration meals especially well. Utopias is a big beer. Try one of our 4 oz Utopias glassware here. We say forever! Like all good things, it gets better with time. A deep rich malty smoothness reminiscent of a vintage Port, Cognac, or fine Sherry.
Because of the high alcohol content, Utopias requires unique distribution. Samuel Adams Utopias can be found at select specialty beer, wine and liquor stores.
We suggest you call up your favorite to see if they have a bottle. Price varies by market and, where the law allows it to be sold, availability is limited. Enjoy the hunt. Utopias is rare, but not exclusive. Sorry, we love you all the same. One thing I did not know before opening my bottle was that the spout of the bottle is made of what looks to be porcelain, and it is actually sealed with a crown that you have to pry off like any other beer; you then use the cap to close and seal the bottle sans crown.
The Samuel Adams Utopias pours a deep amber brown with no head whatsoever, but it is extremely thick, reminding me quite a bit of syrup as it sticks to the glass. Aroma from the glass is strong and aggressive acetone, but there is some honey sweetness and oak noticeable underneath, as well as a touch of mint.
After my first sip, I know immediately this was going to be a complex beer, as every taste seems to bring a different flavor to the forefront of the profile. In fact, there are so many notes that I actually get tired of writing down the ever-evolving flavors: caramel and vanilla sweetness blend with tobacco, bourbon, raisins, bitter cocoa, toffee, candy apples, honey, creamy oak, lemon, peppermint, plums, cherries and figs.
There is more of an alcohol bite than I expected on the finish, but it is overridden by an interesting fruity-esque bitterness that is so unique and interesting that I honestly have a hard time adequately describing it.
