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.

I wanted more. The booze overpowers the coffee and vanilla. I get the chocolate, but not much else. Don’t get me wrong it’s good, but it should have been better.

Just found this - very good, a little more coffee than I like but the other flavors layer very nicely.

Interesting beer...barrel aged brown ale with coffee and vanilla flavors...it's not as good as Doom IMO but tasty nonetheless

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

Sweet creamy coffee. I am not a huge fan of browns in general, but Founders always does them well. Doesn’t hurt that they add so much coffee to them. It’s a great transition to cooler weather beer. If you love coffee and are planning a bonfire, get this.

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

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

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%

Enjoyed at just above chilled temp. Incredibly smooth and balance of flavors with a soft oak & bourbon finish. Grab it while you can!
