Description
Legend Brewing Company is a commercial microbrewery providing true premium beers to many of the best pubs and restaurants in Richmond and other areas of Virginia since January, 1994. Our mission is to bring to our customers the finest and freshest brews as flavorful alternatives to mass-marketed mainstream products. We're one of the few craft breweries in this region producing both lagers and ales, which require different yeasts and maturation conditions. All Legend beers are unpasteurized and made from only two-row and specialty barley malt, hops, water and yeast.

It smells like a brewery due to it’s heavy hop aroma (reminds me of my kitchen when I brew a batch). Roasted flavors, with a persistant hop flavor as well. The beer was not as creamy as I expected, and I expected the beer to be a little less hop oriented, but overall it was not that bad of a brew.

Called the Legend ESB, so I’m assuming this is the same. Clear amber body with a small white head. Dry malty aroma with a bit of floral hops. Dry caramel flavor with some light malt and a bit of floral hops on the end.

Dark black color, with a thin, solid head. Very chocolately. Loved the bitter chocolate aroma and taste. Now if only I could get this without having to drive down to Richmond to get it I’d be very happy.

LCRBM2. Dark copper colour with beige head. Nice toffeeish beer. Great hop on the end. Orange/tangerine fruit. Good choc/coffee too. Spicey hot alcohol on end. Not as bad as I thought it might be.

LCRBM2. Hazy brown, lasting beige head. Lovely aroma of malt. Rich malt in mouth and then a malty finish. Intense brown malty beer, nice if a bit one dimensional.
