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.

It’s a boozy chocolate dessert! Don’t get much coffee. It’s tasty

Not as flavorful as the nose would present. It does fit the genre or style of a brown ale, but the palate is a little underwhelming. Strong coffee upon smelling. That's the best part. Not my favorite by any means, but I'm sure it will age well.

Its a very intriguing brown. Its not thick but the flavors are concentrated in a way that's both satisfying and unique.

The sweet belies the ABV. Definitely an after dinner sipper.

Pre-burlesque drinks with Lil Dorothy. I bet this would be good aged for awhile. Just like Lil Dorothy.

Wow. For a brown ale this is delicious! Notes of caramel, vanilla, coffee and nuts mix well to create a great flavor. Too light and smooth for its 11.1% ABV.

Nice mix of everything advertised. Thankfully, the bourbon comes through more as it warms as well. Thought it was a little light at first.

Well balanced flavors and subdued barrel aging. Coffee comes through on the finish. Milk sugar is noticeable but doesn’t detract as much as with others.
