Life & Limb
Pours a dark brown to purple with a tan head that fades quickly. Smells of sweet malt, dark fruit, fig, plum, cherry, and honey. Nice aroma but not a big aroma. Tastes of sweet malt that goes into a cherry, plum middle with slight hint of fruity and spicy bitterness, almost roasty but that might just my perception not it actually being there. It has a sweet, bitter finish that is almost liquorice-like (though more fruity to be sure). High carbonation and dry nature of this beer make it feel Belgian...like a dubbel....or strong dark. For the high ABV, it is all too easy to drink. This is an interesting beer that tastes like a Belgian in many aspects but is different enough to make it worthwhile.
