Moylans Ryan Sullivans Whiskey Barrel Russian Imperial Stout

Sampled at the second annual Bistro’s West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Fest: Pours a mostly opaque oily black with dark brown edges and a thin ring of tan head. Aroma of mild bourbon oak and some dark chocolate and vanilla. Body starts semi-sticky and dark caramely sweet with decent earthy chocolate balance toward a drier, slightly buttery finish. A decent barrel-aged imperial stout but could be a little more complex and balanced.
