Uncle Dino's Yummy Bars
Barreled Souls Brewing Company

Sampling a cellar temp 500 ml bottle and poured into my snifter. Bottled on 10/06/2022, no barrel aging on this one, but does feature additives of cacoa nibs, walnuts, almonds, and vanilla beans.
The beer pours a dark rich black coffee color with no light passing through the glass. A dense creamy tan head of .5 cm foams up and fades to a sturdy edge layer that sticks around through the sampling. The foam leaves very dense lacing when I swirl the glass.
Aroma is dark rich fudge and dark chocolate with hints of vanilla. Not much in the way of almond or walnut on the nose. No hint of hop character and the beer isnt boozy on the nose either.
First sip reveals a fairly thick body and smooth silky textured beer. Very fine and soft carbonation adds to the smoothness of the beer.
Flavor is fudge and roasted malt and dark chocolate, which yields to a bit of sweet vanilla that lingers after each sip. Again, not very nutty and I dont get any hop character nor is the beer boozy. I wonder if the nut flavors were more prominent when the beer was fresher? The beer is a tasty imperial stout, but it isnt one of the top tier from Barreled Souls in my opinion.

Notes. Had at Controlled Chaos festival @ Burly Oak / Nov 2022
Nice Imp stout with decent chocolate, vanilla and nut flavors showing up ( as advertised).

From a 500ml bottle, dated 10/06/22. Served in a cervoise.

Pours an utterly opaque mahogany-black with a finger-plus of sturdy cappuccino-like foam. The head holds up for better than a minute before settling back to a narrow collar and a thin, slippery sheet of lacing.

Nose is sweet, nutty, chocolatey. Aroma of graham crackers.

Taste is way boozier than anticipated and, in fact, it takes a minute to get past the harsh liquor flavour and taste anything else. Nuts dominate the front end, principally earthy, meaty walnut. Cacao and vanilla smooth out the finish with the vanilla coming across very much like vanilla extract owing to the high abv. Chocolate pudding aftertaste with vaporous vanilla in the sinuses.

Feel is fairly dense with a pudding-like smoothness - thick, but not syrupy. Carbonation is gentle, fine and tingly, just enough to get the job done, with a mild, comfortable boozy warmth in the gullet.

Overall, pretty good stuff, pastry stout-wise. Even better for not being as ridiculously sweet as it might have been - I’m guessing a yummy bar is like a goody bar or 7-layer bar? but, at any rate, there’s a pronounced graham cracker-like quality to it that moderates the sweetness, or sugariness, or whatever. Odd, since ‘graham cracker’ is one of the few add-junks not listed on the label.
