Our classic Parabola Imperial Russian Stout base was aged in Willett Rye Whiskey Barrels with the addition of Madagascar & Indonesian vanilla beans. Initial flavors of dark walnut fudge with notes of German chocolate cake & brownie batter followed by a tide of rich vanilla bean. Barrel character brings woody char, caramel, bourbon with oaky vanillin of its own, & finishes with a hit of spicy rye to round it all together. Black Current/over ripe raspberry fruitiness peeks out for a second until the decadent vanilla takes over once again.
