I would have thought adding a shot of literally anything, including Malort, would improve it. I know taste is subjective, but I refuse to believe there a more than three or four people in the world who would truly enjoy a 28% beer, and they're just massive outliers in human tastes.
@@thomasyates3078 Not true at all. Dogfish Head and Three Floyds make imperial IPAs that go above 20%, and both are delicious. You just can't sit there and slam 8 bottles of them like they're a regular beer.
The Sam Adams corp. missed a huge opportunity to Ice PVIII here. The look on his face as he opened that fancy box only to see a Smirnoff Ice looking back at him would have been worth enough to purchase one of these Utopias in ANY state I say, American or otherwise
Yeah, seeing him light up and get really into it when he actually gets to review something good makes me think that he could probably become an actual sommelier if he decided to take a break from acting
I tell people to think of it more like a port. It's pretty phenomenal, but nothing like a beer. I managed to snag a bottle for $156 ten years ago. Never regretted it.
Spitoon not being used today, very understandable. I do love, though, the wooden figures worshipping the Spittoon, for its protective spirit shines upon us all.
As fun as torture footage is, it's nice to break it up every so often with genuine delight. Help reset and re-calibrate the experiential palate. Little well-earned oases on a long and treacherous journey. Thank you as always, PV3. Anyway, Malort jello shots when.
My brother gets a bottle of this whenever it comes around. I had a sip of it a few years back even though I stopped drinking ages ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I tried Sam Adams Triple Bock way back when, and I remember well the notes of soy sauce and undrinkabibility it had. The bottle was beautiful, though. So, we dumped the beer out and kept the bottle. I think we got the better of that deal.
I can't even imagine the resell prices on this. Years ago I worked at a good beer store in my town, we got our yearly single case of Goose Island Bourbon County. It's nothing $$$ wise compared to this. But a guy called and offered my boss 5x the price to sell him the entire case. I think it was $18 a bottle back then, so he was ready to drop over a G on some damn beer. This wouldn't be a beer to me, I love beer, especially IPA/DIPA/Hazy IPA's, but can't stand hard alcohol, so this would be completely lost on me. Same with Bourbon County, and that's much closer to a beer than this. I tried a few of the 13%'ish barrel aged we sold and I wasn't a fan. That said, if someone I knew had a bottle I would definitely try a sip to see what it's like.
Bro, when are you going to enter into your crossover youtube phase? I wanna see you on Guga eating one of his steaks and pair it with a good scotch/whiskey. Then have him make some finishing butter with the booze, it'll be great!
Ought to stop by Side Project brewing company if you ever come to Missouri. Much of their beer is barrel aged, and they do tend to have special releases here and there that get up near or at 20%, and tend to be aged in barrels for at least a decent chuck of time or longer than that utopias. As an example, I had a wheated stout from them that had been aged a total of 57 months between a brandy and port barrel. It still is my personal top 5 beers of all time, and it is called doube barrel derivation brandy port 2022. Cost much less than a utopias as well, could get at least three DBDBP for one of those utopias. Would have to drink them on-site, though.
@@MikeRotch11 why is everything so limited? If Sam Adams wants to make some money, They should think more modern and start selling these in cases like everyone else. I guess I'll just go with a case of keystone light, the modern choice 🤤👌
Eh goose island bourbon county and central waters brewers reserve expressions are just as good if not better depending. Absolutely more available and affordable… and just as complex. Still a pain in the ass once a year thing but yeah. Black Friday ish traditionally. All coming from a wine and spirits management veteran.
You should do a tasting of the Sink the Bismarck by BrewDog out of Scotland. %41 ABV. Its retired now, but im sure a rich, succesful, handsome sommelier like yourself could aqcuire a bottle.
Étant plutôt un amateur de bière qu'un amateur de vin, cet épisode me parle directement. Je suis heureux de voir que le nombre de tes abonnés a monté sensiblement. Parfois, le succès arrive tardivement. Parlez-en à Van Gogh qui est mort dans la pauvreté.
I blame my father for my taste in fancy beers. He never had Miller or Coors in the fridge back when I was a teenager. Sam Adams was a brand he bought often. I'd steal a couple and just deal with the tongue lashing.
I was gifted a beautiful blue bottle of Sam Adams Triple Bock back in '94 when I was 21 and, I have to admit, it may have been too early in my palettes maturity...LOL I had no idea that 17% beer tasted like Soy Sauce...😅😅😅
So, who did you blackmail at Sam Adams to get that? (And, could you help a guy out by passing the info along?) I also noticed that you didn't share Utopia with your sidekick, Spitoon.
I've always been skeptical of how this would taste. Any time I've had beer that started to get higher than 10 to 12% there has been this raw alcohol flavor that cuts right through and dominates everything else. It's quite off-putting.
If you drop a shot of Malort into Utopius it's known as a "Chicago Hate Crime".
Something something Boston Tea Party
Boston Urine Party
If you use Jameson it's called a South Boston Grundle Slap.

There was like a 30% chance of him opening that box and it having Malort instead
PV3 rarely breaks character, but when he does it's when he gets to taste truly extraordinary alcohol.
Yeah, seeing him light up and get really into it when he actually gets to review something good makes me think that he could probably become an actual sommelier if he decided to take a break from acting
To see the act drop momentarily after you took your first sip has me wondering how quickly I can sell my extra kidney.
I tell people to think of it more like a port. It's pretty phenomenal, but nothing like a beer. I managed to snag a bottle for $156 ten years ago. Never regretted it.
Hahahha "extra" kidney
4:55
Spitoon not being used today, very understandable. I do love, though, the wooden figures worshipping the Spittoon, for its protective spirit shines upon us all.
It's always a treat to see PV3 review something nice for a change. He certainly earned this one!
As fun as torture footage is, it's nice to break it up every so often with genuine delight. Help reset and re-calibrate the experiential palate. Little well-earned oases on a long and treacherous journey. Thank you as always, PV3.
Anyway, Malort jello shots when.
Sometimes, to appreciate the highest peaks of life, you gotta crawl through the valleys.
That reaction to the smell seemed very genuine.
Just that momentary whiplash before the reviewer persona comes back into focus...
Yeah you can tell he doesn’t have to play it up much. Suddenly I’m looking to buy a $250 beer in 2025 lol
I absolutely love the review, it completely overshadows the 3 mannequines praising at the altar of the wine carrafe in the background!
Finally PV3 has returned. Missed you buddy and glad Sam Adams hooked you up this Christmas season.
So good he went into serious wine guy mode for a second
I feel like in the humor we forget your incredible natural ability to describe and connect sensory pieces. You sir are multi talented.
The Wooden Stick Figure family finally has it all figured out. All hail Spittoon!
My brother gets a bottle of this whenever it comes around. I had a sip of it a few years back even though I stopped drinking ages ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.
We love you PV3. We are thankful for you ❤
How do you not have more subs or views man, every single one of your videos never fails to make me laugh. I really hope you blow up, you deserve it
Finally subbed after this one, and dude i love that shirt.
And when the world needed him most he returned
I need an unemployed wine guy/ Hot Ones crossover episode.
After only following you on the Tok, your best is on this channel. On my way to get my first bottle of Utopias - cant wait after this review!
I lost this channel and am so happy to have it back in my life. Subscribed. Thank you algo gods for bringing me back to it
Had a sifter of the ‘15 and it was amazing, burned the nose like bourbon and the multitudes of flavors and layers to it was mind blowing
UA-cam finally recommended your video!

I had one (triple bock) at a bar and I hated it. Makes me think I would consider getting one of these for the bottle though.

Honestly the resale is and never was crazy for this. Most craft beer snobs turn up their nose to anything Boston Beer produces.

Yes
The Hot Ones but with Malort instead of water?
I think staying in character with another person would be tough
Uncle Nigle did it! @@skeetsmcgrew3282
I’m seeing him more partnering with Mr Sausage who, incidentally, did make a Malört sausage (zero out of 5! bope bup bop! bop bah _[clonk]_ )
Best day was when I found a 2 year old bottle just in the wine area. Grabbed it quickly.
PV3 got leading man jawline, that facial hair makes it pop
I was expecting this to be another smirnoff ice situation. Glad it wasnt PV3. Happy you found your utopia in a bottle!
The doll models are worshiping their true deity. SPITOON!
I’ve had this before and I can say it is a unreal experience it coats your mouth and tastes incredible
We’re back and we’re bearded baby!
Damn it’s been a minute since I’ve seen an Aleks account brother

Ahhh yes yes, the C(s)hill PVIII saga; and I am _LLLOVIN' _*_IT._* I am here for every self deprecating sip of it. Palabra 🤟🏿
Wow, way to land a sponsor and a bottle of Utopias!
They made the right choice sending you a bottle, because you've sold me on it. Luckily it's legal in New York!
Great seeing you flex those sommelier muscles. Gotta pull them off the shelf and dust them off every now and then
Omg his subs are actually beyond 117k now! Alcoholic king!
After all the swill you've forced back, it had to finally be time for you to be rewarded. Congratulations, PV3.
How much does a lamp like that cost?
$240 ish
Had 2 sell at the Publix near me they were $298.00. I’m sure they blow the price up on secondary market
holy hell, that much for some sam adams? I'm wondering how much chimay i could buy with that.
That's an unbelievable deal
I bought three bottles one was 260 one was 290 the last 346 the prices are going up up up
I'm seeing $499.99 on Google shopping.
@chuckaudio3191 seems some old liquor stores are a better place to look price wise
Always happy to see PV3 get a W.
the wood people next to the spit jar bowing or something is awesome
when he has something worthy of his tested palette, he gets so animated!
He drinks it at 5:00
I'm going to have to try and get it next time around
I think this is the first time I've seen this guy review something not form a gas station
My Utopia? A glass of Sam Adams Utopias while watching the Unemployedwineguy
I just watched the Thick-It Malort, and going from that utter hell to this joy really helped undo that emotional damage.
Happy to see you enjoy the beverage for once. It's refreshing, so to speak.

For the first time ever I'm jealous of PV3
Great video as always
Man when you say it's 33 cents a day for 2 straight years it really kinda puts into perspective how much money that really is lol
My man cleans up NICELY! PV3, if you see this, can you link me to where I can get that shirt?
You're alive!
Should I get a case of this or a case of keystone light? Decisions decisions... 🤔
You don't buy these by the case. It's like $240MSRP per bottle.
@@MikeRotch11 so what you're saying is, I need to get a keg and save money through volume? Excellent idea!
@delawaresace No, I mean that's the only way they're sold. You're comparing apples to oranges here, as cases and kegs aren't an option.
@@MikeRotch11 why is everything so limited? If Sam Adams wants to make some money, They should think more modern and start selling these in cases like everyone else. I guess I'll just go with a case of keystone light, the modern choice 🤤👌
If Sam Adams had sent him a box with malort I would have bought nothing but Sam Adams for a decade
I can't remember if I had one of these or not

It's good day!
Our boy pv3 is making it in the world🎉🎉
you looked more pretensions without a beard and I appreciated it that way
Utopias / Malort boilermaker anyone?
You should do a tasting of the Sink the Bismarck by BrewDog out of Scotland. %41 ABV. Its retired now, but im sure a rich, succesful, handsome sommelier like yourself could aqcuire a bottle.
I'd try it
Okay, what kind of beer can make PV3 break character like that? I am adding adding this to my Christmas list.
Long time no see! Hope you're doing good PV3!
My mouth is watering! Was getting a little too used to the Malort cringe hahaha
I have a refill bottle capper. Thank you for letting us know about your mom.
I know times are tough, but upgrading your videos to 4k bitrate would be great!
One day I'll have to try this
I think PVM3 has been gaslighting us the whole time, and the Alabama accent is his natural habitat.
Looking good PV3.
As soon as I noticed the unfortunate positioning of the tea kettle's spout, I couldn't take my eyes off.
3:52 Blurred motorcycle?
The beards workin you fruit 😂
Sounds interesting. I saw it for $270 today and passed on it, watching your review to see what I deliberately missed out on.
Is the bottle resealable? Can’t imagine drinking it in one sitting unless you have a friend around
Yup, it’ll keep indefinitely after opened just like any other spirit.
This channel is all over the place
You would need to drink this to listen 👂 to his podcast
Goat milk soap in a grocery store. Does he shop at a Publix in Florida?

Sam Adams missed a golden opportunity to fill that bottle with Smirnoff Ice.
So, who did you blackmail at Sam Adams to get that? (And, could you help a guy out by passing the info along?)
I also noticed that you didn't share Utopia with your sidekick, Spitoon.
It's not who you know
When PV3 is sad from bad alcohol: 😩😆🥺 Baby boyyyyyy
When PV3 is happy from good alcohol: 😍🥰😇 Baby BOYYYY!
Did anyone else see the phrase “ewe-topia” at 8:21? Just me? That’s fair.
I've always been skeptical of how this would taste. Any time I've had beer that started to get higher than 10 to 12% there has been this raw alcohol flavor that cuts right through and dominates everything else. It's quite off-putting.
For those wondering 2023 is a production year, and retails about $230 if not sold out. Don't pay $400 for it. lol
Has PV3 ever given out a 99 or 100?
P. sure this was the highest score he’s ever given
Funnel the rest?

We do say those things
