The only thing that would be more perfect is Utopias itself. Barrel aged perfection personified. 5 is not enough on this one.

N: dark fruit. Whiskey. Chocolate. Head dissipates immediately. Pours thinner than I’d expect. Cola brown. F: up front dark fruit, then chocolate and whiskey. Tail end fudge and vanilla. Little oak and dry way back. Lot going on here!

Hot enough to burn my nostrils. I prefer the vanilla oak aged but this is still good. Heater. Cooking wine

Very tasty, a bit less sweet and slightly edgier flavors than the bourbon barrel aged version. But this is also newer. Will be interesting to try again in a couple years. Has a bit of a brandy-like flavor to me, but that might just be me.Excellent overall

Malty / old ale nose w hints of musky coca. Palatte is an obnoxiously boozy oak burst followed by a charred center and a tannic and caramel finish. It's... Fun? Interesting? Well made, and artful but... Lacking the balance needed to achieve "excellence"

Back in 2018 I had the privilege of trying the actual Sam Adams Utopias beer. I remember finding it interesting but overall it was overwhelmingly sherry-wine. This stout however, amplifies all the good notes I enjoyed in Utopias

Port BA, roasted malts, velvety, pretty nice as this warms up. Vikings beating the pack, we'll blow it, rest assured.

I believe this is 2020 version, but the date code is confusing. Boozy and thinner than expected, but at 17%, not bad. Took an hour to sip on this. Oak, Caramel, chocolate booze. Paired well with Chocolate Kisses.
