A nice light brown color. The beers smell is very standard. It is a good tasting beer that is well brewed.

12oz bottle cool from a tulip glass. Aroma of butter scotch, brown sugar, oak, and spice. A red tinted dark brown with a cinnamon colored head. Taste of butter scotch, seltzer, and bread. Medium carbonation with a smooth clean finish. I have had this beer before but this time it was just better, will update rating later

22 oz bottle...poured in an English pint glass - nice head, subsided quickly...a tasty brown ale - nowhere near the chewiness of a Newcastle (is that even a brown ale??) but a nice drink...hops not very strong, but, then again, I mostly drink IPAs...

My first impression was that it was decent brown ale, but after further tasting of a beer that is not brewed vary consistent I have learned to dislike this brew...

Great local brew, it is very good when paired with a traditional pub meal (ie nachos or cheese fries). I love drinking Virginia beers.

Average but not excessively hopped. Appreciate the fact that it is average; I do wish it was more traditional.

Got this on tap in Yorktown. A good brown, very tasty, but not overwhelming.

If you’re in Richmond, stop by Legend Brewery and give this one a try. Significantly better on tap than in a bottle. A nice, brown color with a less than memorable head. Many flavors (overall roasty), but none of them are overpowering, leaving a deliciously drinkable brown. The only downside is that it doesn’t really stand out in the sea of brown ales.

Had it in a bottle from Total Wine, Springfield. Overcarbonated. Astringent. Overroasted. Tasted like bad homebrew. Yuck.

This was a pretty average brown ale. Though to be fair this was a follow up drink to the barley wine.
