On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. Pours a dark clear brown color with the same fizzling tan head as its older brother Life and Limb. Aroma is bread crusts and dark fruits, and the flavor isn't much different. Being a second-runnings beer, I knew Limb and Life was low in alcohol, but it tasted hotter than 4.8%. Mild maple syrup notes and a little citrus. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Decent drinkability.

Batch 1 the original bottle. Had this in the cellar for years.

Cellared properly. Aged very well. Less sweet than when it was fresh. Old ale with syrup still showing. A bit of cereal grain. Enjoyable for being so old.
