Made with freshly roasted, whole sugar pumpkins in the mash, Jolly Roger is a robust porter brimming with Fall spirit. Brewed with chewy dark malts and conditioned on a pile of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, this one smacks of chilly evenings and crackling fire pits. Roasted malt and sweet pumpkin dominate the palate, with potent spice on the nose. Enjoy it now, because like the turning leaves, it's soon to disappear.

Draft at the source. Brown color, light tan head. Aroma of coffee grounds and subtle spice. Spice is also subtle enough in the taste, mostly cinnamon and nutmeg. This has the two chatacteristics of a good pumpkin beer, imho - dark mslts and subtlety.

5800th rating! Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a dark brown color with a medium sized creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of pumpkin spice, pumpkin, bubblegum, cinnamon. The taste is pumpkin, pumpkin spices, roasted malts and earthy notes. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

Cask at Rustico Alexandria. First beer I’ve had from this particular brewery, and I was quite impressed with this one. Poured a dark opaque brown/black color with a small off-white head. Aroma was roasted malts, with some pumpkin character, nutmeg is there and cinnamon is subtle. Not picking up too much clove, which is usually a plus for me. Nice and rich mouthfeel to this one, even for a cask which often can come across a bit weak. Will keep my eye out in the future for this one.
