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.

What you would expect. Lots of coffee. Medium thickness. Not overbearing coffee though. Balanced with the brown. Good stuff

Huge chocolate and vanilla. Vanilla is a little “extracty” at first but mellows as it warms. Coffee shows in the finish. Yum.

Probably the best brown ale I've had. It tastes like cold brew coffee with a hint of vanilla and cocoa.

This was very pleasant for a 11% ale, smooth with very little hot, boozy tones. Hits with the coffee notes up front but has a finish that is strong on the vanilla. Rich but not too rich with a body that is full enough to balance out the booze.

Truly velvet smooth! Nice and light especially considering it’s a bourbon beer.

Big, fresh coffee nose. Lots of coffee up front, vanilla and bourbon sneak in with the finish. Definitely coffee-forward!

Chocolatey coffee, sweet notes of vanilla, and a nice subtle but boozy finish.

100% tastes like dark chocolate raspberries. Absolute win in my book and I do not like brown ales.

Nose carries chocolate-covered marshmallow, graham cracker malt & bitter coffee. Upon first sip, my palate is hit by acidic, slightly sour/burnt coffee grounds, which are overtaken by dry cocoa powder, vanilla extract & heavy-handed bourbon. Unbalanced.

Coffee is prominent, very bourbon forward, but bourbon doesn’t linger. Subtle chocolate on the back end. Definitely drinks at 11%
