If you're into specialty beers, Sam Adams has the bottle for you. But this strangely designed UFO-looking bottle will come at a high price — $190 to be exact.
According to the Huffington Post, Utopias Beer is not your
average brew. Instead it's considered the cognac of beer and is apparently
comparable to a fine brandy. It is made with "the world's finest, all natural
ingredients," and uses specialty malts and hops. Samuel Adams puts its Utopias
beer on the shelves every two years on a limited basis.

The beer is actually noncarbonated and is a combination of
several different beers. The creation process includes aging the beverage in wooden
barrels, which come from places like Nicaragua and Kentucky.
The latest batch reportedly features, "sweet flavors of
honey, toffee, caramel, cocoa, and vanilla, balanced by distinct notes of
molasses, raisins, plums, and berries." Sam Adams compares the flavor to a fine
cognac or an aged sherry.

The beer has an alcohol content of 29% and is best
served warm, according to Samuel Adams founder Jim Koch. The company founder
likes to do taste tests using the Utopia beer, a $300 port, and a $500
cognac, saying that the beer almost always wins.
