Firestone Walker Brewing Company Paraboloid (2023)

Our signature Parabola imperial stout achieves new heights in this limited small-batch release. The story of this beer began when we aged it in an equal selection of rare older-stock barrels from premium spirits producers-- specifically, 14 year Old Fitzgerald bourbon barrels and 18 year Sazerac rye whiskey barrels. These barrels complemented Parabola's classic dark chocolate, cherry and vanilla flavors by imparting hints of stone fruits, fudge, leather and peppery spice. Additionally, we aged the beer for a full two years prior to blending and bottling, cultivating an ultra-smooth mouthfeel for this prodigiously flavorful beer.
