Sam Adams 'Utopia' (2017 Release)

The 2017 release of Samuel Adams Utopias is a 28% ABV barrel-aged beer that offers flavors of dark fruit, subtle sweetness, light smokiness, and a smooth malt character. This unique profile was achieved by aging the beer in a variety of casks, including Scandinavian Aquavit barrels, known for their distinct spice and herb notes, and Moscat wine barrels, which impart a slightly smoky character. Additionally, the blend incorporates beer from 24-year-old Triple Bock and 17-year-old Millennium batches, contributing to its complex flavor.
