Velvet Rush

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

Borrowing elements from both high-end craft cocktails and moody jazz clubs, Velvet Rush takes the bourbon barrel-aged brown ale up an octave with free-flowing notes of coffee, chocolate and vanilla extract. Milk sugar aids in weaving together this complex tapestry of flavors to create a unique sipping experience that really ties the room together.

If I didn’t know any better I’d think this was barrel aged Sumatra brown. It’s a bit richer and creamier but the adjuncts are really nuanced and need to be a bit more pronounced. Was hoping for more vanilla. Tasty just could be improved.

Bottled 7/29/21. Interesting taste. A lot to take in. Can taste the vanilla and creamy milk sugar notes. With a good mix of barrel aged smokiness and a decent alcohol tinge. Complex but good. Almost like a fine whiskey with less bite.

BFLN. I was pretty surprised at how light it was. I really thought it would be more stout-ish. That said, it's solid. Nice coffee notes. ABV is well hidden. Definitely more of a sipper.

I wanted more. The booze overpowers the coffee and vanilla. I get the chocolate, but not much else. Don’t get me wrong it’s good, but it should have been better.

Sweet creamy coffee. I am not a huge fan of browns in general, but Founders always does them well. Doesn’t hurt that they add so much coffee to them. It’s a great transition to cooler weather beer. If you love coffee and are planning a bonfire, get this.

Creamy, nice coffee and vanilla. Some BA goodness. Had to check again and see that it's not an imperial cream ale. Politics aside, they make good beer.
