Jul 11, 2005 A downright frightening brown color in the glass with some lacing and a barely-off-white head. Interesting aromas: What is coffee doing in my brown ale? It works here, though, amid notes of woodsmoke, chocolate, and wheat. Flavors are similar to the flavor profile in a porter, too, but the beer is light and refreshing, with a balanced and developed finish. A little rough on the carbonation, but otherwise, an interesting brew.

Apr 17, 2005 Nice Amber color. Malty and nutty aroma. Some hops with a hint of caramel. Good nut taste and an over all decent beer.

Mar 10, 2005 Bottle. Sample from a friend at a brewclub meeting. Deep amber brown in color with a nice head. Malty and roasty aroma. Slight hop character. Caramel notes. Well balanced beer. Clean mouthfeel. Interesting. Nice beer.

Dec 15, 2004 Rich copper colour. I picked up some diacetyl in the aroma, which was otherwise mainly malty. Dry malt in the flavour, with a touch of tangy hop. Soft, but clean, mouthfeel. Not bad. On tap at the Green Leafe Cafe, Williamsburg.

Dec 6, 2004 Light clear brown with a white head. Sour, buttery aroma. Taste has notes of brown sugar, roasty malts, nuts, caramel all intertwined with a nice buttery toffee feel to it -really nice. Mouthfeel is full, round and creamy.

Jul 31, 2004 A little lighter than normal, more of a deep auburn. Nose quite peaty, lots of malts to it, some caramel. Very nice flavor, loads of malts, lots of caramel and toffee, big peat character to it, mildly smoky as well. Quite nutty. Finish is long, with just a hint of sweetness hanging around the mouth. Quite enjoy the palate on it, good creaminess as well. One of the better browns I’ve had.

Jul 19, 2004 As Brown Ales go, I enjoy Legend’s. It’s strong and pungent. Reminds me a bit of the IBA from Dogfish, but I think I prefer this one. Not a beer you can drink all night, but it’s nice. Glad there are a few brown ales that have a bit of bite...

Jul 3, 2004 Dark amber with a medium creamy antique ivory head. Roasted malt nutty sweetness throughout. Very pleasant flavors just enough sweetness and nuttiness. Much better than I expected, given my general dissapointment with brown ales.
