Barreled Souls (2020)

I’m kicking myself for not joining last year, although I live right down the road and have gotten a few deliveries of Dark Matter and Big Bang, which is very nice. I’m on the waiting list and hope to get in this fall.

I have to say, I underestimated these guys for a long time, but I’ve been very impressed with their last several releases.

 

10 Cents Gets You Nuts is tasting really good. I love banana in a beer, but I know that people can be turned off by too much of it. Fortunately, the banana is subtle and I’m getting chocolate the most.

So much Barreled Souls stout sweetness this month, feel like a kid on Halloween with a filled pillowcase.

 

Just had a stay puft from last year and its still drinking great. Can't wait to compare, and possibly cuvee with this years soon. Like most others, had zero restraint in dropping 100 bucks on stay puft. Such a great beer.

 

I threw in my $10 and was lucky enough to be chosen for a pair of magnums. Sweet!

 

Congrats, I also missed out but glad a fellow BA got it.

 

The best/worst part is they keep everything in storage for you for so long. I honestly don't know how many bottles I have in storage there right now, has to be over 2 cases though. If these were sitting in my beer cellar I might think twice about buying more but it's like they don't currently exist so I obv need more.

 

Don’t even know what you guys are talking about, but if anyone has an extra they aren’t buying, please let me know.

 

Now you know.

 

God damn you Barrel Society why must you torment me?

 

@rightcoast7 These are not exclusive to society members. I'm sure you'll have a chance when they go public.

 

Oh nice, thanks for the heads up!

 

We're a week in, but for those who've sampled this year's Stay Puft and its variants, any favorites? All are tasting excellent, but I think both my favorite so far, and the one I'm most pleasantly surprised by, is Hot Cocoa. One of the best uses of chocolate in a beer I can remember.

 

Only had regular so far, but that’s about as good of a non-BA stout as I’ve had. The marshmallow builds over time, so my last pour was glorious.

 

Yeah I had the hot cocoa last night and have to agree. I’ve never had a beer with more chocolate. At first I almost thought it was too much, but I fell in love with it as I kept drinking it.

 

Finally picked up my stash this weekend. Which was apparently three cases worth(whoops?).

had willet barrel stay puft and it was amazing. Followed by blueberry fritter congdon donut stout the next day. Also amazing. I jumped onto the bottle society because I never had a chance to try their stouts but I’m thoroughly pleased. I think coconut phones might be next this weekend.

 

Picked up today. Having Willet Stay Puft right now. I took a pic and can’t figure out how to attach and stopped caring.

God damn, I love this brewery.
