The story of this limited release began when we selected a special lot of Parabola that had aged for 12 months in premium eight-year-old bourbon barrels. Next, we racked this lot and circulated it through spirals of Brazilian Amburana wood, which is prized for its beautiful baking spice flavors. The result is a beer that takes Parabola’s richness and intensity to the next level with heady hints of cinnamon, vanilla and waffle cone.

Parabolas of past has been aged solely in Bourbon Barrels. Parabola 2021 has a subtle twist being that same base beer was matured in equal thirds bourbon, rye whiskey and wheated whiskey , then blended together. Brewers associate rye as bringing really great black pepper notes to beer, along with a rye bread character. The wheated bourbon barrels add a sweeter mouthfeel, and a cereal grain character which comes through as well. It just adds a layer of depth and complexity even deeper than Parabola already had.

The legendary immensity of Parabola meets the refinement of rye whiskey in this righteously spicy barrel-aged brew. The story of this beer begins when we racked a select lot of Parabola to premium rye whiskey barrels for extended aging. A year later, we toasted shaved coconut over coals of rum barrel wood, then comingled it with the rye-aged Parabola for a period of one month. The inclusion of the caramelized coconut amplifies the natural coconut qualities found in our regular bourbon barrel-aged Parabola, while the influence of the rye whiskey barrels adds a distinct peppery character. The result is a racy reinterpretation of a Firestone Walker classic. Read Less
