I've not actually tasted Utopias yet.  It is not carbonated, so many of 
the reviews i've read online and in magazines liken it to a liquor, even 
though it is brewed like beer.  I have a bottle of the 2003 that is 
waiting for some sort of celebration.  It's aging in a cool dark place 
along with my Stone Vertical Epic collection*.  The Beast is actually 
not as foul tasting as most expect.  It's a dark beer along the lines of 
a stout, and has a lot of alcohol taste, but i didn't find it as 
overbearing as i expected to. 

Being from Belgium, I'd be more interested in your beer tastes!  I've 
had many Belgian beers, but i would be interested in what is considered 
the best beers by someone who lives there.  Oh, and i just need to know, 
is Manneken Pis any good? :)
