Life & Limb is a collaborative effort, the brainchild of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. Life & Limb is a 10% ABV strong, dark beer that defies style characteristics- brewed with pure maple syrup from the Calagione family farm in Massachusetts and estate barley grown on the Grossman "farm" at the brewery in Chico, CA. The beer is alive with yeast-a blend of both breweries' house strains-bottle conditioned for added complexity and shelf life, and naturally carbonated with birch syrup fresh from Alaska.

Life & Limb is dedicated to the family of beer drinkers and enthusiasts worldwide who continue to support the little guys, iconoclasts, entrepreneurs, and pioneers who risk life and limb to shape the vibrant craft-brewing community.

Röstiger, rund würziger Antrunk. Milde Herbe, sich steigernde Malzigkeit, leider kommt mit der Schokoladigkeit auch eine trockene Phase, ansonsten würde ich hier von Vollmundigkeit sprechen. So hat das Bier einen kurzen Abgang, ist aber noch angenehm würzig. 12/11/11/9/12/11

*Nice and deep brown beer. Viscous, caramel, dried dark fruit. Hints of sugary syrup with a moderate bitterness. Fresh but brown dark, bitter and viscous sweetish brew. Great!

2012 vintage. Dark and toasty in the taste, aroma fairly faint. Black body with small beige head. Taste makes up for aroma in a big way, plenty of burn at the back. Some dried pit fruit, some oak, some chocolate. Extremely enjoyable. 2019 vintage had on 8/1/19. No change in rating.
