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.

Not nearly as rich as I would’ve expected and more barrel than I expected. Even better close to room temp. It’s pretty good.

Definitely chocolaty but with an odd boozy over all flavor. An enjoyable drink but it lacks the drop off malty end.

I suggest you try RYE BARREL AGED BROWN ALE (no coffee, chocolate nor vanilla needed). That’s a party in your mouth.

Very deceiving! Super smooth, very flavorful. Surprised by how light bodied it is, not a bad thing though. High abv is well masked. Very rich w/ a good sweetness. Good brew!

Way more coffee than I would have guessed from the description. I didn’t mind, but it could be a reasonable annoyance. Also a bit thinner-feeling than expected for the ABV. Again, not a nuisance but slightly disappointing.

Meh...I'm beered out. Had food and caffeinated pop but still more tired than anything so I can't accurately review a beer. I think I'll slosh when I walk from drinking so much.

Amazing boozy chocolate on the nose, even more pronounced on the palate. Get this if you can! Thanks 6 for securing!

A little too thin for anything called imperial. Vanilla, chocolate and bourbon are equally present. Coffee is a little light. It’s like a session KBS.

Pretty smooth for an imperial brown, lots of coffee notes that match that of Breakfast Stout, brings me back to the old days when breakfast stout was so limited I used to buy a case

Tasty & bit unique (for the style)! On both smell and taste: Coffee w/ definitely some other things going on in the background. Not too sweet (yay)...just enough to round it out. Still trying to decide if I can detect influence of bourbon barrel 🤷‍♂️
