Tap Handle #206: Moylan's - Ryan Sullivan's Imperial Stout

I really like these Moylan's taps that look like a Celtic cross. I scored this one as part of a group purchase. The only difference between varieties is the label. It's double sided, so the back and front are identical.

Moylan's Brewing was founded in 1995 in Novato, California by Brendan Moylan. After picking up a homebrewing kit to start, Moylan became a founding partner in Marin Brewing Company, which opened in April of 1989. Moylan moved his family from San Francisco to Novato in 1989 because he wanted to raise his two children in the city’s small town atmosphere. Moylan’s Brewery & Restaurant, Novato’s only brewpub, was $3.5 million project that has established a strong following among North Marin’s beer connoisseurs. Moylan’s features a 57 foot long bar, a dart room with a fireplace and a reading library featuring brewing books and magazines from Brendan’s personal collection.

Ryan Sullivan's Imperial Stout is rich, thick, and intense with hints of espresso coffee, chocolate truffles, burnt currants, and sherry. It won a gold medal in the 1998 and 2002 World Beer Championship. Weighted average on ratebeer.com is 3.0 out of 5.
