Ran out and bought some of Dominion's Millenium when it came out last week. Have loved the stuff in the past, think it's one of the best British-style barleywines around, has typically had a wonderful butterscotch/toffee character, incredibly tasting. This year's, on the other hand, doesn't seem even vaguely up to snuff. There's no butterscotch at all, has kind of an overpowering, cloying sweetness to it, and the alcohol burn is VERY noticeable, none of which have been characteristics I've ever encountered with it in the past.
Anyone else tried it this year and had the same opinion? I'm really disappointed, as I was very much looking forward to its release.
