Sam Adams has created the limited edition Samuel Adams Utopias the latest in their Extreme Beers line of sipping beers. Samuel Adams is releasing 8,000 bottles of the kettle-shaped bottle reminiscent of the copper brewing kettles used by brewmasters for hundreds of years. The Utopia is 25% alcohol and therefore the "strongest beer in the world." For the 2005 edition, the brewers aged the beer in single-use bourbon casks to give the new brew a richer flavor than the 2003 release.

The Samuel Adams Utopias 2005 edition costs $100 per bottle which sounds pricey but the brew is meant to be consumed in two-ounce servings like a port or dessert wine.
