Samuel Adams Utopias
Bottle poured into a tulip A: Thick in texture. Theres absolutely no head, expectedly. It has a deep, hazy brown color, a lot like a heavy Christmas cider. S: The aroma is strong, it stings the nostrils. I bet its made with bits of real panther, so you know its good. Whats nice is that the initial alcohol aroma gives way to a cornucopia of scents: sweet caramel, almonds, smooth butterscotch, you really need to digest it through your nose before you digest it through your mouth. T/M: Once you absorb the aroma, the taste adds another layer of complexity to the mix: strong alcohol closely followed by sweet molasses and caramel, tangy raisins, smooth nuttiness and a vanilla finish. Its incredibly complex and borderline outlandish. As long as you enjoy it slowly, its akin to tasting a fine, sweet bourbon. This is not your regular beer and shouldnt be consumed as such. Appreciate this for what it is instead of what you expect it to be and its rather incredulous. Im not really sure if its worth the price, but its definitely incredulous. Im just glad I was able to partake.
