With its swanky golden bottle and 27-percent (that's 54 proof) alcohol content, the latest batch of this super beer from Sam Adams is the most outrageous yet. A new batch of Utopia is released every two years and 2009's will be limited to a run of just 10,000 bottles. It will set you back $150 if you want to try it, but those who have claim its strong taste that it's worth giving up the 75 cases of Golden Anniversary you would've bought otherwise. Because of the high alcohol content, it drinks more like a scotch than it does a typical beer and the flavor is intense, offering up strong tones of oak, maple, vanilla and dark fruit. In other words: It's too fancy to drink out of your Star Wars glasses.
