Beer is a drink that has been around for centuries. For the most part, people enjoy it because of its refreshing taste and delightful aroma. But what if you need something with more kick? That’s where extreme beers come in! These beers push the limits of what beer can be by adding different flavors or ingredients to make them stand out. So, can you buy beer online still? Yes, but it needs a bit of research. The article below will introduce some popular extreme beers, so read on to see which ones sound appealing!
Samuel Adams Utopias
Samuel Adams Utopias is a beer that comes in like an ale and finishes like a fine cognac. It has caramel, port wine, and vanilla flavors with notes of cherry wood, honey, and tobacco. This beer is unique because it’s made from two-row barley malt blended with some sherry yeast. Because its alcohol content is more like a port wine, it’s only sold in 50 ml, and one-ounce pours.
Utopias are produced every two years, with the latest release dating back to 2017; however, this beer comes at a cost as each bottle costs $199! It has a higher ABV (alcohol by volume) of 28%. It makes Utopias the strongest beer globally. Even it’s more potent than some vodkas! Samuel Adams Utopias is only available at select locations. If you’re lucky enough to try it for yourself, make sure to savor every drop because each bottle has a total of 24 servings.
Moloko Plus
This Russian Imperial Stout from Three Floyds is a beer made with coffee, milk sugar, and licorice root. This combination of ingredients gives you a creamy texture while still having the bitter taste from the dark malts. Moloko Plus has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 11%. You can also find it in a bourbon barrel-aged version for those who enjoy this stout.
BrewDog’s the End of History
This beer is made by BrewDog, a Scottish brewery that has been around since 2007. This particular beer is 55% ABV and comes in at 330ml bottles. The End of History was first brewed in 2010 and was named the world’s strongest beer. It’s no longer available because it’s made with nettles and fresh Scottish juniper berries.
North Coast Old Stock Ale Cellar Reserve 2009
Old Stock Ale is a strong ale that sits at 11.95% ABV and comes in a 12 oz bottle. It’s been aged for one year, so it has dark fruit notes, caramel, and molasses with subtle hints of spice from the rye malt. Old Stock Ale was first brewed back in 1999, but its label says 2009 because North Coast wanted to say it was a little bit older. This beer is brewed in the United States and if you’re lucky enough to try it, make sure you have someone else drive because there’s no way one person can drink this all on their own!
So, these are some of the most extreme beers you can …
