This year’s Utopias was aged in casks from Buffalo Trace Distillery and eight-year-old Port barrels from Portugal. We then blended it with a touch of our Kosmic Mother Funk ® (KMF), a Belgian-style ale barrel-aged for at least nine months (and up to two years) in Hungarian oak tuns.

This is the first time we’ve blended KMF into Utopias. Here’s what Jim had to say about the new addition: “The KMF brings a whole new spectrum of flavors and complexity to the beer, including brighter fruit notes like cherries and plums and just a hint of earthiness.”

Doesn’t look like much…dull brown. No head. Sticky, mapley, sugars and alcohol. This was such a groundbreaking beer…it’s hard to conceptualize and I had Millenium. Molasses and oak. Refined, fuck. Awesome.

42th Birthday gathering. 750ml (thx, Jamey W.! for bringing it to BCL 10 years ago) @ 🏡
Aroma: boozy, dark fruits, some tartness accompanied with sweetness, tannic, woody.
Taste: boozy and hot, dark fruits, moderately sweet, tannic.
Overall: very boozy and hot, but it still has a nice complexity. Nice one.

One of those beers I never thought I'd get to try in NL. Very heavy, alcoholic, strong and sweet. Almost reaching into liquor territory. Intense bourbon, some caramel, plenty of wood and so very boozy. Pretty enjoyable, but mostly a great tick.
