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.

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

Dessert in a glass. Coffee is light, like a wafting scent lilting over the chocolate and vanilla. Sweet and subtle, there's a hint of cherry or stone fruit, but I think I'm imagining it. Interested to see what cellaring might do to it.

You don’t see many double digit barrel aged brown ales. So why not give it a try? The more I drink the more I like.

Was very smooth for percent but was kinda disappointed. Got mostly coffee and not as much of other adjuncts

The flavors are good, but the brown base doesn't hold up. This cries for a strong stout base. If would be exponentially better that way.

I normally drink barrel aged stouts and was curious how different this would be. It's totally different! It's more nutty than a stout. The sweetness is ok, but I think it's too much and also too boozy. Have a second for aging. Will try again in a year

Solid. Coffee is a bit too forward for me though. The finish is great so hopefully with some age, this will level out.

Did not love the aroma, very extracty. The flavor is much richer and cleaner, still a little harsh on the finish but smooth overall. Don’t look at the photo too closely

Complex bouquet begining with lighter chocolate and vanilla and transitions to heavier bourbon booziness. Body of a brown, a tinge creamier from lactose. Definitely boozy, but otherwise balanced between BBA and vanilla/malt character. Little beer flavor.
