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.

Bourbon barrel-aged imperial brown ale with coffee, chocolate, vanilla extract. Absolutely smooth and divine, though aroma leaves something to be desired. Also, new Cowboy Bebop live-action series is legit.

Chocolate Milkshake open. Very good up front. Too thin to hold the barrel age ABV. Alcohol creeps in half way through the glass,

Veel koffie maar vrij lichte body en te duidelijk aanwezige melksuiker. Doet een beetje aan als een slappe koffiestout. Valt wel tegen voor Founders begrippen

Jep.. koffie, chocolade, vanille & bourbon. Je proeft het allemaal, maar het geheel is me net wat te artificieel en waterig.

Steel cage match of muddled flavors. Cheap bourbon and Folgers, boozy and sickly/cloying vanilla but still a little thin for a beer this big.

Loads of coffee but not overbearing. The bourbon peeks through at the end

NEEDS SOME TIME AFTER OPENING. The first aroma was an almost unpleasant, cheap bourbon smell. This eventually dissipates but still leaves a mild acrid aftertaste in it's wake. Otherwise, this has a lovely mouth feel, sweetness, and baking spice notes.

Nutty nose of walnut and pecan. Round, soft mouthfeel with some lovely toasted cocoa and vanilla bean. The smooth chocolate finish is impressive. Better than expected with some subtlety and a burnt sugar/nutty/chocolate finish.
