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.

I get bourbon and vanilla. Dont get coffee or chocolate. Not as heavy as a stout.

Wow. Boozy, creamy, sweet - sip on this one. The vanilla is really pronounced with added barrel aging. Don’t get much coffee but will sit on the rest and see if the flavors change at all.

Wow. BBA and chocolate and a smidge of coffee. It hides the 11% ABV well. This is a smooth beer. Go after it. Founders rocks!!

Perfectly done. Not as much barrel as the big stouts, but that would have been a mistake here. It needs to be more subtle. Dead on. Other flavors come together really well.

Nicely done for a barrel-aged brown ale! There’s the titular rush and what lingers is a fog of vanilla coffee that keeps you coming back.

Holy cow. This one definitely brings all the flavors as advertised. Light but, noticeable barrel aged taste. I know I’ve bagged on Founders before but, this is worth buying!
