This is Velvet Rush and it will be a Bourbon barrel-aged imperial brown ale brewed with coffee, chocolate, vanilla extract and lactose.

This 29 Mar 2021 update from Founders:

We’ve got some exciting news to share about the newest addition to our Barrel-Aged Series! Put on your finest robe, cue up your favorite jazz album and kick your feet up – it’s time to introduce…

Velvet Rush

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 aides in weaving together this complex tapestry of flavors to create a unique sipping experience that really ties the room together. 11.1% ABV.

Velvet Rush will be available in 4-packs of 12oz bottles and on draft nationwide starting in September (sorry, no draft in Utah!).
