Commercial Description:
Following the millenary tradition of the abbeys of Belgium and the Netherlands, Especialidades Cerveceras is proud to present Milenia, a unique hand crafted bottle conditioned ale. Only 4,000 to 5,000 bottles of this monastic brew are obtained from each brew. Its body goes from medium to robust with a high alcohol level (8.0% vol). Its unique taste derives from the well balanced blend of roasted and caramel malts as well and English and Czech noble hops. The specially selected yeast accounts for its complex bouquet and fruity flavor. Fresh wort and yeast are added prior to bottling to promote a secondary fermentation that will take place within the bottle. The bottles go through cellarage at the brewery under controlled environment. This delicate process is known as “bottle conditioning” and provides the superb refinement of flavors and aromas found in every Milenia.

Reddish brown colour, the aroma was slightly caramel malty, with some figs, cherry, and port wine notes

Boxed bottle from John’s Market Place in Portland, OR&#045;&#045;Dried small cork that just sort of fell out after metal caging broke. Precursor to review...Beer aged too much perhaps. Little carbonation. Murky amber-brown body with a dull clear bubbled head. Funky apple juice and cardboard nose. Slightly peppery and very sweet. Strange chemical funk with over maturation evident. I could tell this beer might have had something to it once, but not any more. Too bad.

8 year old in the fancy box to your right. Thanks BrianK for sharing this one. Pours red brown. Aroma/taste is sweet dark fruit cherries and peaches. Mildly tart with a wet paper finish. THis is 8 years old some sweet malt and a tad sour.

Hazy brown with no head. Aroma is cider and spice. Taste is same, with a light tart edge and good residual sweetness. Very light carbonation. Relatively unexciting, but not bad.
