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.

First taste I got sweetness for days and a very boozy finish. Finishes dry as well like a black coffee. Heavy mocha notes and tastes like a dessert. Very good beer. Would be awesome on tap.

not overly sweet, but just the right amount to be a rare session-able dessert beer. A bit of chocolatey flavor as well.

Very similar to Sumatra Underground Brown, maybe a bit less chewy and a whisper more chocolate. Huge coffee, but pretty smooth.

The Velvet is based on the finish..very smooth and hides the 11.1 Alc. Another Founders barrel aged gem

This isn't your normal brown ale. It's really smooth with notes of espresso, cocoa and vanilla with a slightly boozy finish.

Strong coffee dominates. Good amount of booziness covers most of the other flavors. Over time this will smooth out and be very good.
