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.

Well balanced flavors and subdued barrel aging. Coffee comes through on the finish. Milk sugar is noticeable but doesn’t detract as much as with others.

Amazing! Solid brown ale with lots of chocolate and coffee. The milk sugar brings an interesting but enjoyable element.

Pour is a rich clear brown with a whitish-tan head. Pure brown coffee nose. Velvet smooth mouthfeel with coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Milk sugar sweetness gives it a good morning vibe. Well-balanced fantastic brew overall.

Cold brew coffee with a hint of vanilla and sweetness. Not a ton of bourbon but the 11% is well hidden. Thanks Tyler S.

Bottle shop series been great. This is another nice one, smooth with rich vanilla/chocolate. Lighter on barrel/bourbon than many of their BAs but still there. 4+

Delightfully smooth drinking Brown, finally getting a little Bourbon at the very end.

Another great barrel aged beer from Founders. I really dig this one. It’s coffee forward with many other flavors enhancing that backend. Very well crafted.

Mr. Liquid Bread

This was a really good beer. Lots of vanilla, chocolate and obviously the bourbon that Founders always brings to the table. The only cut I can make on it is that you really couldn't taste the underlying Brown which is sometimes nice to have.

Wow what an amazing flavor profile. Even with the bourbon barrel the flavors are still rich and amazing.
