For Whom the Belle Tolls
Barreled Souls Brewing Company

Poured on tap at the brewery. The nose is chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, and dark fruit. The taste largely follows the nose. Getting some red wine on the taste - almost feels like a brandy barrel. Good chocolate and marshmallow as well. Very nice beer.

 

This one pours a fairly dark black color, with a small head, and not much lacing.

This smells primarily oaky and chocolatey, with some black cherry, roasted malt, and caramel.

The beer changes a lot as it goes from cold to room temperature – up front, cold out of the bottle out of the fridge, it presents with a lot of dark fruit, and primarily chocolate otherwise, but as it warms, more complexities emerge. There’s cookie dough, roasted malt, dark roast coffee, and vanilla, with a nice oaky finish.

This is medium bodied, creamy, not too sweet, and pretty drinkable.

It’s cool to see a collaboration with Belleflower, a really exciting new brewery up in Maine. This is a great representation of how talented both breweries are.
