velvet
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".

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

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

Discussion
This is by far the most popular choice for translating a proper noun into your target language. Transliteration is the method of converting the characters written in the source script to the target script. This is different from translation because it converts the pronunciation of the source word, not its meaning.

And besides, it is about lager, dark lager, not about the beer in general. So, Barnaulsky velvet dark is enough to convey the sense. Barnaulsky velvet dark (lager). Lager and Barkhatnoye could be given in parenthesis.
Here is the example: English and Russian versions: Барнаульское темное бархатное-dark velvet: In the context, "темное" is omitted.
