Delicious Imperial sweet stout! Barrel aged definitely enhanced the original which was also good.

Drank on tap at Angry Chair Brewing, Tampa, Florida
Served in a tulip
Dense, oily, near pitch black appearance. There was zero head and no lacing whatsoever.
The aroma was outstanding. Toasted marshmallow came through big time. Loads of fragrant vanilla as well. There was a nice milk chocolate presence too. Hint of graham cracker and kiss of boozy barrel. The barrel was a bit more subtle than I anticipated however. Quite sweet overall, though appropriately so given the style.
The flavor profile was nearly as impressive as the aroma and boozier. Again, marshmallow and vanilla came through super strong. Nice caramel and roasted malt base up front. Boozy bourbon notes appeared from the get go and intensified as the beer moved along the palate. Good dose of milk chocolate in the center. The beer was definitely sweet but not excessively so. More boozy bourbon barrel character on the back end and the finish. A pleasant alcohol warmth lingered after the swallow.
Excellent rich, full bodied mouthfeel. Perhaps a touch thinner than I anticipated however. Oily and slick on the palate. The liquid contained a fine, mellow effervescence that worked nicely for the style.
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Rocky Road literally smelled like liquefied, booze-soaked s’mores, and it tasted pretty similar as well. Angry Chair Brewing are known for producing some of the best pastry stouts in the world, and this one did not disappoint.
