Description
While Utopias has long matured in charred whiskey barrels—some with histories stretching back nearly three decades—our 2025 blend ventures even further. Joining our traditional Ruby Port, Carcavelos, Cognac, and Scotch casks are Irish Whiskey, Amarone, and White Port barrels, each adding its own distinct character. Irish Whiskey brings notes of toasted oak and warm vanilla; Amarone contributes rich, wine-soaked fruit depth; and White Port imparts a delicate honeyed sweetness.
We've always aged Utopias in charred whiskey barrels—some of which are up to 3 decades old—but this year we've added new barrels for an even more distinct flavor. The 2025 Utopias introduces Irish Whiskey, Amarone, and White Port barrels to our aging process, alongside our traditional Ruby Port, Carcavelos, Cognac, and most recently, Scotch casks. We began barrel-aging beer in 1993 with the Triple Bock. Today, our techniques have led to the lunatic fringe of brewing, one of the oldest, strongest, most extreme beers in the world.
Samuel Adams Utopias® 2025 is a blend of multiple batches of our extreme beers aged for many years. We've always aged Utopias in charred whiskey barrels - some of which are up to 3 decades old - but this year we've added new barrels for an even more distinct flavor. The 2025 Utopias introduces Irish Whiskey, Amarone, and White Port barrels to our aging process, alongside our traditional Ruby Port, Carcavelos, Cognac, and, most recently, Scotch casks. This unique blend continues to evolve the flavor of Utopias, defying the status quo. From our earliest extreme brews, we set cracking that 30% ABV barrier as a lofty goal, and this year, we did it! Perhaps the strongest beer on Earth.
