Thanks gunhaver for this one, you rock man. 2004 bottle. Finally found a somewhat more affordable version of Utopias for 1/2 the abv. Pours light reddish-amber no head and some sticky golden lacing. Aroma is boozy and loaded with caramel, brown sugar, but it remains overly sweet. Taste, sweet drinks like a sweet liquor with plenty of brown sugar, caramel, light notes of fruits (pear) and some subtle chestnut toward the finish. Light body. Slow sipper, this is one amazing brew.

Bottle shared by Marcus. Really appreciated. Brilliant ruby copper color with no head. Aromas of fruit, tobacco and leather. It’s got floaties! [small ones] Then the aroma goes towards plums. Now I can imagine chocolate. Super full bodied. Hardly any carbonation. Flavor is medium sweet, and then confusing: mapley? dates? Chocolate? And there’s a lot more. This is what SA’s Tripple Bock should hae been. It’s wonderful. Just gets better and better.

Bottle Pours out a copper with some red highs, no head on this one. Aroma was very nice pit fruit with plenty sweetness. Tast was very nice aswell. Sweet caramel with more of the fruit. Very tast and easy to go down. I think this is the best brew I have had from Italy yet.

Bottled shared with Degarth, Quake1028 and Gillard. Pours a muddy brown with no head. The aroma is just delicious with a sweet slap in the face of dark fruity esters showing up as figs, dates and sugar dredged plums. Behind the hammer of sweetness is a caramel candy backbone. The taste is an initial sludge of sweet sweet prunes followed by figs, dates and very ripe cherries. It is just silky sweet. The initial impression is that this would be a great dessert beer. A stream of creamy caramel candy wells up only a small offering of flavor next to the wealth of fruitiness. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a beer this expensive. I was prepared for it to be worse. Maybe that is partially why it tastes so darn good. Very good, in fact.
