Brewed from the second runnings of our massive Imperial Stout, Humulus Bruin is a hoppy Belgian-style brown ale. Huge amounts of Summit and Sterling hops were added to the whirlpool and as dry hop additions, giving this beer an almost illicit aroma. Up front, hops dominate the flavor but then give way to roasty, toffee-like malt.

Draft. Blackish beer with a nice tan head. Malty, caramel, tart, light lemon aroma. Slight tart flavor with caramel, light roast and some darker malts. Medium bodied. Lingering combination of slight tartness and darker malts with a bit of caramel.

On Tap at Najas (also at Beachwood). Pours with a large, off-white creamy head covering a dark brown body. Aroma of dark fruits, malts and a ton of spicey hops. Taste is very sharply hoppy with some nuts in the back. A very, very strongly hopped brown ale. Lightly fizzy and a bit too dry.
