Sam has produced an impressive number of delicious beers. Sam also gave me - well, SOLD me - the most expensive beer I've ever had. Was it worth it? Well, it was worth the experience. For less than a tenth of the price, you can get a lot of very, very good beers. Every 5.0/5 beer is less expensive than Utopias. This is part of a multipack that aims for a broader audience than that beer, and this should be perfect for Sam.
It pours a very lovely mahogany with off white bubbles leaving just a smidge of lacing behind as the head scatters pretty quickly. The aroma is sweet malt and.. there's skunk in here. I am not sure if this is intended, but the malt is definitely being weighed down by a skunk. The lovingly embellished description on the back of the bottle doesn't mention any skunk, but it talks about a roasted malt and toffee, but I'm not getting it right now.
She's skunked. There are roasted mats and stuff, but she's skunked, and I don't want to drink it. On the side of the label, there is a month notched, and it says to enjoy it before June. Well, it's April as I write this, and it is past the time it should have been imbibed. Notably, it does not give a year on the label. I assume it is this year, but I have no way of knowing. There's a copyright year of 2023, but the label notches start in January, so that might just be when the label was created. Either way, this is a travesty.
