We have just solved a brewery mystery (and it is delicious). We wondered what would happen if we put 2004 Dominion Millennium in oak barrels that had bourbon in them for five years. Three months later we had Oak Barrel Millennium. Something special, we think. Ruby-red color with a wide range of complex flavors. Malt and sherry predominate.

LCRBM2: floral hoparoma overshadowed by sugar. Hoppy flavor with blackcurrant, but again the sugar wins. Hurted my teeth. Still very tasty.

Draft sample at Dominion Wine & Beer. 2011 vintage aged in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels. Dark brown with light tan head. Aromas of caramel, butterscotch. Tastes of caramel, toffee, a bit of dark fruit. Medium body with a dry finish. Nicely aged.

From a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a cloudy amber with a thin tan head. Vanilla laced oak aromas dominate the nose. Caramel, more vanilla and toffee blend into a delicious beer. Warming alcohol finish. Nice.

Purchased from a mixed 6 pack at Rick's in Alexandria. Bottle. Virtually no head. There was an alcohol aroma, but definitely not as strong smelling as the regular Millennium.Nice! The others had fallen off a lot more.

Pleasant aromatic vanilla and bourbon nose that carries through to the flavour. Lovely smooth malt with a sweet note. Really well joined up. Lovely!

12 oz painted bottle shared by Gregis. Bottled on 111706 stamped on the label. Pour is hazed orange ruby amber with a very minimal off white head. Nice lacing for a beer without much head. Aroma of initial sweet caramel maltiness, followed quickly behind by a dry dusty sherry - nice but a touch oxidized with quite a bit of cardboard showing through. Taste is the nose, caramel sweet malts, followed by dusty oxidized cardboard minor sour earthiness. Palate is medium, the oxidized cardboard nature thins it out a little bit. Really no alcohol present. Nice stuff, thanks for sharing this one Greg.

Like the standard version, but even sweeter with a thicker, heavier palate. Molasses. Malt, moderate hops, and a plain, brown color. Quite sweet, lots of oak, but no bourbon, I am happy to report.

2006 (11/17/2006) bottle thanks to beervirgin72. Pours with a decently thick, khaki head that slowly dissipates to a film over a murky golden brown body. Good lacing. Strong bourbon aroma that fills the room. Aroma is bourbon, oak, curacao and other citrus booze, orange peel, vanilla, brown sugar, toffee, maple and leather. Taste has a lot of citrus, including some astringency, and lots of bourbon and some barrel ashy-ness with toffee, alcohol and a decent amount of sherry. Basically a lot of barrel and orange. Not amazingly complex, but still pleasant. Somewhat syrupy and mouth coating. Alcohol is there with a slight burn and warming after a few minutes. Moderately tingly carbonation. Good and somewhat different barley wine.
