Velvet Rush (2021)

Velvet Rush (2021) by Founders. Barrel aged imperial brown ale. I had a taster at Founders. Now the bottle. Light, smooth, coffee, chocolate, vanilla. Great taste, but thin. Reminds me of something from my youth I just can't place. Good, but great.

Simply delightful! Very little coffee flavor but strong on vanilla and chocolate. The lactose and barrel aging give it more of a sweet caramel taste than boozy bourbon. Not a chugging beer but also not so heavy that you can only sip it.

Paul Reddick

Tastes exactly like a well made Kentucky coffee & cream

Strong coffee on the nose. Coffee has bitter taste. Finishes sweet.

Wulver

Hm, interesting, but coffee bitter a little to much, over powers the other flavors. Or maybe just me, we will see how the next one is

I get nervous when “stuff” is added to a style I like, but this works! Smooth, but bold.

What a concept! Take our fantastic Sumatra and add a bunch of chocolate, into Bourbon barrels, yeah that should work. Lot going on here, crazy good but man is it sweet and over the top!

This eclectic beer is an unusual blend of flavors. The nose is solid and when it fist hits the mouth has a good feel. Strong chocolate and vanilla finish but the body was bland. Worth the experiment but Founders should move on.

Stunning! So good! Miss Imperial Browns as they seem to get passed over for stouts & porters. This one is spot on. Thin, as a brown should be, compared to the aforementioned, but the flavors are just bursting out; big malt, vanilla, coffe & chocolate! Yum

This is a very flavorful brown ale. A lot of different flavors and a good aroma. Definitely one to have again.

Tasty brew. Lots of flavors all mixed together well. Definitely no sign of the ABV at all.

Another great one from Founders! Complex but balanced. Not very boozy, at all, for a high octane brew.

Coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. Alcohol warmth, nice hop bite, balanced with sweetness.

Wow they got the coffee right on this brew. Up there with some of the best as far the coffee. Nice subtle barrel coming thru along with some sweetness and roast. Smooth and goes down way too easy.
