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.

Coffee flavor, with something slightly distasteful that I cannot identify. Maybe just a poor chemical reaction with my personal body chemistry. I don’t prefer stouts, but I preferred this one even less. Sorry…:(

Wow! Tasted like a boozy tootsie roll. That’s fun. Man, strong drink but delightful.

That is awesome. even though it breaks my 10% ABV rule. Not boozy, smooth brown. Another fine product from Founders.

Pours clear without much head at all. Sweet with hints of butterscotch on the nose. Sweetness hits at the front with hints of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. The finish is boozy keeping it from getting a higher rating from me. This is so close to 5⭐️.

Founders BBA coffee (sweet) brown ale at 11%. Reached every expectation of flavor and quality. If you don't know what to expect already, I feel sorry for you.

This is legit. Brown ales are underrated. Nutty mellow backbone for vanillas caramels chocolate… barrel aged is perfect adds whisky kiss . This is so good warm. Opens up from chocolate to werthers

Really nice, chocolate, bourbon, coffee, vanilla, heavy malt and nearly nonexistent hop presence and Founders yeast. Medium body, light carb, bourbon and light coffee aftertaste.

I normally drink barrel aged stouts and was curious how different this would be. It's totally different! It's more nutty than a stout. The sweetness is ok, but I think it's too much and also too boozy. Have a second for aging. Will try again in a year

Founders knows their way around a barrel-aged beer. Love the coffee/chocolate in this one and the lactose adds a very creamy body. 11.1% ABV. ☕🍫
