English translation:velvet
Explanation:
velvet beer

Думаю, что писать "dark lager" не стоит, так как это все-таки исконно советско-российский сорт темного пива, и переводом стоит показать его "уникальность". Может быть, как вариант, еще в скобках после velvet написать "barkhatnoye".

"Бархатное пиво – это советско-российский сорт темного пива верхового брожения с ярко выраженным солодовыми и хлебными тонами. В классической рецептуре Бархатное пиво имело крепость до 2,5% об. и по вкусу напоминало квас. Современные варианты значительно отличаются от советского образца по составу, органолептическим свойствам и крепости".

neutral  Turdimurod Rakhmanov: We can't say "velvet" beer, but velvety beer is fine. Velvet is the name of the beer. Velvety-means бархатное.

Barnaulsky Barkhatnoye (velvet-smooth flavor and taste) dark beer


Explanation:
This is a proper name of a beer. In general, proper names are not translated. No one will find this beer on the shelves with the velvet name. Here, I propose transliterating the name and adding explanation in the parentheses.

  -> Thank you, DT SM. Yes, for consistency, one could transliterate both. In English, though, a noun can often function as an adjective too.
