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.

Bottle. Medium brown pour with a large beige head. Big aroma of sweet coffee and vanilla, light barrel notes. Deep coffee flavor, high quality coffee, more vanilla, chocolate, and modest bourbon barrel. Has a nice creaminess to it.

12 ounce bottle. Rating number 5,700! Bottled on 07/29/2021. Mostly opaque brown color. Brief beige head. Earthy, roasted malt aroma hints at brewed coffee and oak. Flavor upfront is coffee, cocoa and vanilla. Warming alcohol notes in middle. Notes of oak and bourbon emerge as brew warms. I think this brew would benefit from some age. It’s a bit green. Overall, another fine effort from Founders!

Very dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour are a bit like Tia Maria coffee. Boozy and rich. Vanilla sweetness comes through a lot.

Bottle from Beer Hop, London. A dark ruby/brown coloured pour with a small off white head on top. Sweet, coffee, vanilla, caramel, bourbon aroma/taste. This is a really sweet brown ale but also highly drinkable
