On tap at the brewpub, Rochester. Opaque dark brown body, thin cream head. Nose of roasted malts and coffee beans, dry and rich. Woody, roasty body with coffee, dark chocolate, and soft notes of brown sugar that impart just a hint of sweetness into this overall dry beer. Delicate, rich flavor profile. Quite nice.

Unlabeled silver can autographed by the brewers. What a pleasant surprise this beer was. I’ve had one other beer from this brewery, the underwhelming, vegetative Lazy Daze Lager. Talk about night-and-day difference and not just because the Batch 1000 is a big beer. Red, orange body with some sediment. Minimal off-white head. Healthy aroma of caramel, toasted grain, cherries with a hint of citrus and dough. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and moderately bitter, achieving a nice balance. Medium to full body with a creamy texture that turns sticky in the finish. Moderate to lively carbonation. Warming alcohol lingers. Caramel and toffee combine with fruit tastes, especially — prunes, raisins. Enjoyable sipper. Thanks for sharing Spudclampdawg.

08 vintage sampled from the tap at the 2010 MBG Fall Fest. Poured a hazy brown with a yellowish brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was quite sweet with some burnt sugar, dark fruits, raisin and a hint of sweet chocolate. Flavor was sweet as well with raisin really coming through, a bit of chocolate and sweet grains.

16 oz can. Pours orange amber with an off-white head. Aroma is a mix of spicy, pine, and citrus hops. Flavor is pine and spicy hops again with lemon and orange notes and a touch of caramel. Well-made, but it doesn’t stand out too much.

Can shared by Sean, thanks! Poured a clear gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was a nice combination of pine and citrus with the malt underlying. Flavor was much more strong with malt giving the beer a sweet grain flavor with the citrus disappearing and the pine became a minor undertone.
