At 27% what do you think the taste would be like??

I thought once beer got up to around the 10% mark you start to sacrifice taste for alcohol strength..

Can they justify the price at $150..Has anyone ever tried anything like this..Can't imagine the local stocking it!!!

From what I've read, Utopias is actually ment to be quite nice. Your ment to treat them like a Cognac or a Port, its ment to be sipped in small measures and can be put away for years after opening.

I actually had a taste of their Triple Bock for the first time last night. Its 17.5 % and it was quite nice. Full of really interesting flavours. Like nothing I had tasted before.
I'd love to try some of their Utopias but I couldn't justify paying that kinda money for it.
