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

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.

Date code 021507. From twist off bottle pours fairly clear tho lots of sediment on bottle bottom. Has a dougy metallic aroma. Taste is old lager and somewhat creamy. Has a wild hair about it lurking in the background. Yez, old lager flavors aafter each sip. Weird flavor for a belgian white, must be the 7% alky in there. Warming sensation in the gullet. My bottle says dominion spring brew ale brewed with spices (cardomom, coriander) specialty ale.
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.

2009 bottle shared at the 6th annual Richmond Industry Gathering, 11/27/11. I was told by the guy who brought this it is the brett version, but I’m not seeing much sign of it. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a thin white head. Decent head retention. Big toffee aroma with citrus hops. The taste is toffee malts, citrus hops and very faint brett. Might even miss it if you weren’t looking for it. Medium-full bodied.

Crystal clear ruby tinted copper body with almost no head at all and a nice glow. Aroma of alcohol, raisins, pit fruits, oak, vanilla pods and a bit of scotch. Medium-bodied; Completely still (five years old) with a pungent alcohol, oak and vanilla flavour with a good amount of malt and a lot of sweetness still remaining. Aftertaste shows a lot of sugars, some pungent alcohol and a potent oaky and bittering flavour. Overall, a strong and potent beer that still holds up okay, not great after a few years. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle (bottled 09-November-2006), about five years ago [with proper cellaring] sampled today (to drink a beer from Washington) on September 11th, 2011, the ten year anniversary, after visiting the Pentagon, at home, two blocks south of the Pentagon.

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