Tap at Gremlin. Initial big sweet resin hoppiness. Further down hoppiness fades and the malt can shine. Bit of caramel, bit of biscuit. Bit of milky chocolate too. This is sweeter than expected, but still good stuff. Maybe some orange in there too. Interesting. Second time it felt more black IPA like.

Tap at the brewery. Cloudy, dark brown with lace. Grassy hop nose, big dry hopping, chocolate, caramel, bread. Great fruity flavor, orange, chocolate. Nice stuff.

Tap at Watering Hole. Caramel, weed and light roasted coffee notes with more pine and dank as it warms. Average carbonation with a medium body. Bone dry on the palate with a slight toasted caramel flavor but dominated by piney, grassy, dank hops. Earthy with a bit of pine and orange. Finish is dry and dank. Solid hoppy brown. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hop Drug -Brown Ale- on 26 Feb 2016 at 19:12 - Score: 7. Original review text: Dry, bitter quite a bit like herbal medicine in a good way ;)
