Shenandoah Oak Barrel Millennium Ale

2007 vintage bottle courtesy of Matt7215. Medium brown with a bubbly head and significant lace. Initially a chocolate donut, and then a controlled sourness, with malt and sugar. Good balance, like an old age and not like the sahti. A unique one.

12 oz bottle from a trade with jjpm74. shared with hyde and sammy. my bottle. pour hazy brown with a lasting tan head. malty fruit aroma with a ton of wood. sweet flavours, mostly ripe fruit, lots of wood in there too, a bit cloying. creamy mouthfeel with the abv present as well. enjoyable in small doses. thanks for the bottle john!

Muddy light brown. Smells somewhat hot, slightly mapley and a bit muddled. Sweet, mapley and a little hot on the palate. Raisiny middle and a firm alcoholic finish. Quite a bit of muddy yeastiness.

Bottle, special, at Dr. Bill’s. Coffee cake aromas and lovely rich cakey body including rum soaked cake, carrot cake nuttiness, and also some brandy. Very nice.

Bottle. Pours a dark copper/redish almost clear. No head whatsoever. Aroma is that of malts, figs, and berries with heavy notes of vanilla. Flavor is nothing short of fantastic, near perfection sweet, malty, creamy with butterscotch. Extremely smooth, almost like sipping bourbon. Alcohol is pretty well masked.
