Default Sam Adams Utopia

I got a chance to try Sam Adams Utopia (strongest beer ever brewed - 25%) after turkey dinner on thanksgiving. I was pretty surprised at the taste, not like any beer I've ever had. It was more like a liqueur, very sweet and syrupy, reminded me of brandy / port. Found more information online at the following link:

If you can find it, what does the bottle retail for? Nobody around my town has ever heard of Utopia when I went on a search for it earlier this year. Doesnt it come in a metal decanter that is 750ml and very similar to a liquor bottle, rather than beer?

And is it true that it is best sipped at room temp and there is no carbonation? Hehe, sorry about all the questions but I was really trying to find this beer over the past summer. I heard it retails at about 100.00 per bottle.

[EDIT] I am at work, therefore most all websites are blocked so I do not have access to the internetwines.com link you sent. I'll check it out a little later when I get home.

I've seen it elsewhere for 149.99. Check the google shopping page (one of the few I can access from work)...I saw prices from 149.99 - 349.99...none in the 600.00 range! I was told that it "retails" for about 100.00 but have not found one that cheap anywhere.

A 600.00 beer brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Grab me a cold one"...

This one was from 2005, and supposedly sold for around $300 then. Just like any other collectible or limited edition bottle...
