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.

Coffe, chocolate and a hint of vanilla. Very smooth and, as the name says, velvety.

We argued about whether this one was more coffee or burnt sugar. Nice flavor either way.

So, so, smooth. Another example of why Founders is at the pinnacle of American brewing. I would nurse this all winter long.

Big coffee nose, lil bit of barrel and vanilla, decent flavors. But as a whole, I wish this was a stout. Pretty thin, missing a bottom to it. A bit boozy, but not bad. An interesting brown ale, an ok beer. Thanks for this Drew H.

Interesting beer. It doesn’t have much stout in it and is very sweet. Not sure if this one id get again but I had to try it
