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.

12 oz. Aroma is strong coffee, vanilla, chocolate. Pours hazy brown with a one finger beige head with decent retention. Taste is pretty sweet with some light bitterness. Strong flavors of coffee and vanilla. The bourbon barrel is subtle. Tasty stuff.

12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Brookfield, 11/25/21. Dark brown, thin tan head, good retention. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, lactose, coffee, coffee milk (hey RI!). Some booze. Taste is vanilla, chocolate, nuts, booze, caramel. Full bodied. A bit hot but booze well hidden. Nice.

Holding a 12 oz bottle before pouring inside of one of my tulip glasses. I see a deep dark brown body with a slender top of light tan foam. An interesting smell, chocolate and cocktail. I lift for a drink. Nice. Dessert in a glass, chocolate, cherries, vanilla, malt and wood. Glad to have a taste, probably one and done.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Mocha soapy head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Vanilla and oak aromas. Medium bodied with sweet vanilla, chocolate and espresso upfront turning to warm bourbon and oak in the medium length finish.

Still needing Imp Brown style so a nice find. Dark brown and small head. Nose is sweet chocolate and malt. Tastes of malt, coffee, chocolate, some bourbon and booze, vanilla and oak. Sweet finish. Now that weather getting cool time for some winter sippers. Been a few years since I needed that.

Sehr intensive Kaffee-Aromen, dazu dezent Schokolade. Insgesamt ist der Mokka aber von der Nase bis zum Abgang dominant. Dabei ausgesprochen gut trinkbar. Sehr lecker.
