Barreled Souls (2022)

Non-BA vanilla stouts are hit or miss for me, so I may pass. Being my first year, I have heard stories about over-purchasing from past BS members. So hopefully I take those lessons and don't have a full carload of bottles to take home end of this year!

 

BS’s non-BA stouts in general are pretty hit and miss for me, and honestly more often a miss. Good thing they do more than enough BA beers to keep me occupied, and they do a fantastic job with those.

 

Third year for me, and I've learned that outside of Stay Puft, I'm likely going to hold back on non-BA, adjunct beers for the most part. The difference between regular and BA versions of the same beer is so different for me, with an overwhelming preference to BA.

 

Emails, folks. Check those emails. It's go time.

 

They have just been pummeling us with releases as of late. My credit card hurts.

 

Dang I thought DB Stay Puft was going to be this year.

 

The email said it was “still coming, just not yet.” That’s kind of vague, but later this year still sounds very much in play.

 

I've been selective to date but that goes out the window this week!

 

Any reviews of Double Barrel Stay Puft?

Looks like they're slowly wheeling out the double barrel beers, curious how they are.

 

I’m grabbing my bottles this weekend and will try it soon. Happy to see the DB Big Bang as well.
My group currently has a double barrel Barleywine via the Barreled Souls barrel program that is in its first barrel now.

 

Same here, I'll probably be up to grab the 2022 bottles purchased to date in late August which will include a few of the DB Stay Puft.

 

DB Stay Puft is right up there with Fire Chicken for me for BS barreled aged stouts. I think it is very well balanced even though the base is kinda sweet (as intended). Also, the Sagamore Rye is right up there for me as far as the regular BA variants. I know some people have had gushers, my first bottle was but I immediately moved my second bootle to cold storage and had no issues when opened.
