Unfortunately, I had this in a local pub this week and forgot to take a picture. The beer is called Taylor's Grog and its from Greenville, DE. This is a small, small brewery. I don't know that I've even ever seen a bottle or a website. If you're in the DE area, McGlynn's pub in Elkton, MD has it.
Taylors puts out a regular grog and a seasonal one. I had the opportunity to try both the regular Grog and the Octoberfest Grog. Both are lagerish beers. Personally I liked the regular grog a bit better than the octoberfest - this is odd because I am usually all over Octoberfest beers. I found the Octoberfest to be exceptionally bitey and hard to drink. It had a good taste - slightly pumpkin but a good deal of spice. It was just hard to drink - the end really stuck you.
The traditional Grog was delicious. It reminded me of a really super smooth Yeungling (for those of you unfortunate enough to have never had a Yeungling its a very very good Philly Lager). It would be super easy to have a few too many of the regular Taylors Grog - it was that good. Good smooth flavor without being overly hoppy, just enough yeast taste to not be over powering. Just a really really good lager. I would recommend this to anyone.
Update: It turns out that this is a specialty beer brewed by Twin Lakes Brewery exclusively for Mclynn's Pub and the Deer Park Tavern. Guess you'll have to go to try it. :-D
