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.

Pleasantly surprised. Perfect level of booziness.

This isn't your normal brown ale. It's really smooth with notes of espresso, cocoa and vanilla with a slightly boozy finish.

Just slightly too boozing. That's the only reason it's not a 5.

The Velvet is based on the finish..very smooth and hides the 11.1 Alc. Another Founders barrel aged gem

Very similar to Sumatra Underground Brown, maybe a bit less chewy and a whisper more chocolate. Huge coffee, but pretty smooth.

Rich, deep, clear brown with a creamy head and the aroma of coffee. Tastes like lightly sweet coffee with a slight sourness at the back of the throat. As a coffee lover, this one hits the spot.

All advertised flavors present. Noticeably high ABV. Apparently I'm just not a porter fan.

It is my opinion that founders is the king of browns…especially imperial browns. Another killer offering
