Description
Samuel Adams Utopias 2023 is an exceptionally rare, ultra-premium barrel-aged ale created through an intricate process of brewing, blending, and extended barrel maturation. Released only every two years, the 2023 edition reaches an extraordinary 28% ABV through fermentation rather than distillation.
The 2023 blend is matured across an impressive collection of barrels, including American bourbon, Scotch, peated whisky, Ruby Port, Carcavelos, Cognac, and Pineau des Charentes casks. The Pineau des Charentes finishing barrels were introduced for the 2023 release, contributing additional layers of honey and vanilla to its remarkably complex profile. The finished beer is presented in Utopias’ distinctive copper-colored ceramic decanter, modeled after a traditional brewing kettle.
Designed to be enjoyed more like a fine Cognac or vintage Port than a conventional beer, Utopias is best served at room temperature in small pours.
