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.

Brown pouring with a tan head. Some lacing. Strong coffee aroma. Hints of chocolate and vanilla. Caramel hits right away, the coffee, chocolate, vanilla hit on the backside. This beer is smooth as hell, and doesn't drink like 11%. Damn amazing.

Silky smooth...Coffee and cream (the vanilla extract I'm guessing) and a huge bourbon nose. Absolutely delicious.

Brown ale really is one of the best platforms to pickup all the additions. Chocolate aroma, sweet vanilla coffee finished with malty woody dry finish

Wasn't sure I'd like this but the coffee isn't too much. So much other stuff in here. Vanilla, milk sugar, chocolate. Really smooths out after it warms.. Another fine mash-up from Founder's. 11.1%

I’ll match you on this one Tim. What an impressive bourbon barrel aged brown ale, quite different than most brown ales with the added chocolate, coffee & vanilla flavors. 11.1% ABV doesn’t hurt either.

A deep tawny brown pour yields an intense bouquet of chocolate truffle and coffee. A midweight body is full of dark cocoa and hazelnut, which transform into spicy vanilla and sugar. The finish is long, but fades smoothly.

Another great beer from Founders. Really interesting - a perfect blend of flavors normally found in a stout but offset by the lighter flavors of a brown ale. Surprising and really good. Thank you Abby for introducing it to me!!!
