Parabola by Firestone Walker
Style / abv: Russian Imperial Stout / 13%
Source / Temp: 650ml bottle / 50 deg
Glass: Medium Snifter
Appearance: Deep, dark brown brew with a thin dark brown head.
Aroma: Sweet bourbon infused with molasses and a slight scent of alcohol.
Taste: Dark chocolate, mild bourbon, some milk chocolate and a surprisingly strong hop bite at the end.
Drinkability: Thick and creamy, this is a sipping beer at it's best. The alcohol is hidden very well.
Notes:
While this isn't my favorite barrel aged stout, this is a very special brew. It makes me think of a milder and slightly less flavorful version of Rare Bourbon County. I will definitely be making the trip to Chicago to pick some up when they release it again next year.
I give Parabola a 9 out of 10.
Eis Igian,
Randall
