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.

As with almost all Founders beers, this is so balanced, so well made, and so yummy. Kinda sorta vaguely like a KBS light.

It's like cream soda meets nitro with full body coffee and the bite of high ABV! A fantastic Imperial brown ale!!

Great! The bourbon is light and not overpowering. The coffee/chocolate/vanilla/milk balances really well.

Founders has pretty much been irrelevant since 2015. This is a huge step in the right direction. Very good.

Soooooooooooooo sweet. It stopped being beer at some point and is instead some sort of starbucks drink with espresso, chocolate, caramel, and vanilla. Drink with dessert or by itself. Contains almost nothing i want from a brown ale.

Kinda busy for a brown...drinks more like a stout or porter. Very complex, nice sipper...great flavor...no bite. Well done, but they killed what makes a brown a brown.

This replaces Underground Mountain Brown which was one of my all time favorite beers. This is still good, but I think not as good.
