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.

This is great. Brown ale is a nice canvas for the bourbon. Thin viscosity which is appreciated in a high ABV beer.

A bit boozy, slight vanilla notes work a coffee cocoa finish

Love the idea! However, washout is relatively quick. Bourbon isn't presented well. Wouldn't drink it again.

Rather impressive brown ale. Coffee, some hints of milk, not too boozy, and sweet. Well done.

Ok, call me loco coffee crazy… but, I like this one! Great flavor of fresh brewed coffee and a little chocolate and vanilla. Not much barrel but still good for the price in my opinion.

Tons of chocolate. Nose is milk chocolatey, but taste is overwhelming chocolate. There may be a touch of vanilla or something to keep it from being bitter
