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.

Got more coffee flavor than chocolate, seemed to hide the chocolate too much unfortunately. Still a good beer just not exactly what I was expecting.

Finally got my hands on a four pack. Pours a darkish brown with aromas of coffee and bourbon. The mouthfeel is is on the thinner side with a strong coffee flavor up front and bourbon on the backend. Not tons of flavor and lacking on chocolate and vanilla.

Had high hopes for this one. Good but nothing memorable. Coffee and barrel that’s about it.

A little thin, but some really nice flavors. Not too sweet.

Pretty solid for the price, exactly what I'd expect from a adjuncty founders, sweet, not massively impressive but hits all the marks. A tad thin especially given the lactose, but very drinkable for for 11.1%

Barrel aged brown ale comparable to Underground Mt Brown. This is decent, a tad sweet. UMB much better.

Interesting. Brown ale comes through with chocolate coffee and vanilla all merging nicely. Tasty! Bourbon barrel does not overwhelm.

Canada trip. Grabbed this at founders on the way up to Canada. This was absolutely horrible when it was cold. 1.25. However as it warmed it got creamy and sweet with a hint of vanilla.

This was pretty good, I'm not usually a fan of brown ales but this really didn't taste like a brown to me.

Kinda busy for a brown...drinks more like a stout or porter. Very complex, nice sipper...great flavor...no bite. Well done, but they killed what makes a brown a brown.

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

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.

Coffee and chocolate stand out. Not much vanilla or milk sugar which would nicely balance out the bitterness of the finish.

Strong coffee smell and taste. I’m not picking up the chocolate or vanilla. A little bourbon undertones.
