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.

Lactose in a brown ale? That’s a new one. Just enough to give the “velvet” mouthfeel. Coffee is the dominant flavor.

Very strong flavor for a brown ale. Sweet, chocolate and coffee tastes.

Strong vanilla flavor with coffee then chocolate. Medium thick body from lactose mouth feel. A heavily flavored brown ale that borders on stout, but not. Brown ale has that characteristic “spiced” and roasted flavor to differentiate it from stout. 4.4

Last brew of the day/evening. ABV 11.1% & 30 IBU's. Light Coffee ☕ aroma with vanilla and chocolate 🍫. Bit more ingredients came out in the taste. Smooth and creamy. Great tasting brew on this mid 40's degree rainy Autiday. Cheers friends! 🍻🙂
