Out of a corked and caged 750ml. Pours a nice orange copper color with a gigantic pillowy cream colored head, nice chunky lacing on the sides of the glass. The last pour out of the bottle had plenty of little yeast floaties, floating about. It has a sweet malty aroma with a slight hint of earthy spices. Has a toasted malt backbone, metallic twang, a bit buttery as it warms. Has some spicy characteristics to it but not enough to completely balance the beer. A slight dry hop taste in the end. Its a little overly carbonated, good use some cellaring, as do most Southampton brews. Another very nice brew from Southampton, most definitely worth a go. I need to start to cellar some of things to taste the difference.

Notes:
Cellared this for well over a year. The buttery malt still kicks strong as well as the carbonation. Any hoppy presence is gone.

Pour is golden amber with a red ruby tint and a light tan tight head. Nose has a chewy sticky caramel malt front with a deep green apple skin behind and faint farmhouse spice to it. Taste is balanced, on the sweet side but not sugary, well attenuated. Sticky malt, caramel light, apple skin, sweet finish, light hop presence through the finish. Body is light, carbonation is very gentle, semi dry finish. Solid stuff and very drinkable.

on tap at perch pub in philly

Pours a slightly hazed caramel auburn color with some reddish hues. Thin crop of beige head dissolves completely, leaving little lacing or retention.

Some faint Belgian yeast in the nose with hints of dark fruit. Apples come through with a dash of cherry and some bready sweetness. Little alcohol warmth.

A little spicy and yeasty up front with some Belgian notes. Dark fruit creeps through but doesnt become too sweet, lingering with a few hints of cherry. Apples give way to bready and caramel sweetness in the backbone. Finishes with another touch of apple and very soft warmth.

Medium body, slightly higher carbonation, sticky and bubbly on the tongue. This is pretty decent, but I've had better from Southampton before.
