hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dark fruit and sweet character as Hahn Special Vintage 1999. The brewery's millennium beer, released in 1999 in corked bottles meant to be laid down rather than opened fresh. It pours deep burnished copper, close to tawny port, under an off-white collar. The nose is vinous and dense: sultana, raisin, bitter orange, plum and date over a golden syrup sweetness, with oak, spice and alcohol underneath. Toffee and doughy caramel malt carry the middle, the palate runs leaner and drier than the aroma promises, and warmth builds towards the close. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
