Big, caramel, vanilla with notes of fruit and malt. Finishing clean and crisp.
The package is as elegant as the beer it contains: a cobalt blue bottle with platinum lettering, finished with a natural cork and sealing wax, encased in a cherry wood box. There are only 3,000 bottles of Samuel Adams Millennium, and each is signed and numbered by Koch. A bottle of Samuel Adams Millennium costs about two hundred dollars.The #1 bottle was auctioned off at a benefit for Outward Bound and was sold for almost $5,000.
Warm and sweet with a rich malt and wood complexity, Samuel Adams® Millennium is an example of the brewers’ art in its highest form

@ the peteing zoo. Murky orangish brown appearance with little head. Heavy tannic nose. Lots of wood, leather, dark grape, and plum. Kind of tastes like a port. Big leather taste. Alcohol burn isn’t that bad. Big fig taste. Kind of fun to try.

Sampled from the bottle, thanks! Pours a clear earthy amber with no head whatsoever. Aroma is full of caramel, sweet grain and booze with hints of toffee and a touch of smoke. Flavor has sweet grain with strong toffee and caramel as well as a touch of booze.

Thanks to Beer Savant for sharing bottle #1593/3000 during his 50th birthday bash. The beer pours a murky amber-brown color with a minimal white head that evaporates quickly to a bubbly outer ring. Sticky, coating legs on the side of the glass. Aroma of liqueur, maple and dark fruits. Full-bodied sipper with flavors of sherry, port wine, maple syrup and boozy vanilla. The finish is oaky with a vinous and boozy aftertaste. Very good beer overall.

Big ups to brad. Dead pour but a beautiful toffee with alcohol sweet baked goods and a nice roundness of age. Way smoother that other 20 percent beers. Not cheap cognac like Utopias. Really nice alcohol sweet flavor. Strong but not cheap. Good sweetness and burnt brownie. Nice alcohol aftertaste. Bold yet nice.

Bottle in the hotel lobby. Big thanks to Brad. Pours murky amber with a slight, tan cream head. Big toffee in the nose, lightly oxidised malts, ripe fruits. Huge sweet flavor, big alcohol, toffee, apple, caramel, dates. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Hot finish, rich toffee, lightly tangy fruits, big alcohol. Really big and sweet beer, lots of toffee. Sweet and heavy.

Bottle, 75cl, shared by 3fourths, thanks a lot Mike. It’s murky brown and rather flat. No wonder, as it had been carried around for a day or two. It’s vinous on the nose, with caramel, a suiting oxidation, some meaty umami hints and lots of chocolate. The flavor is equally vinous, with chocolate, cocoa and caramel. Meaty too, and with some bitterness. Full body, warming. Sweet, warming and bitter finish with a good dash of chocolate. A lovely one indeed, certainly keeping well. A bit on the alcoholic side maybe, but it’s far from too warming. Again, thanks Mike. 120511
