Flaska från SB. Opak kolsvart vätska med lågt krämigt beige skum. Massiv kropp, mjuk och len. Vinösa bäriga vinbärsfattoner, brownie, vanilj, kanel, rostad kokos, chili, bourbon. Riktigt gott och ändå lite udda kryddning och inte lika bra som den vanliga parabolan men visst är det riktigt maffigt och gott ändå

Flaska från SB. Svart med brun krona. Subtilare och kryddigare än vanliga Parabolan, med rostade toner, toffee, lakrits, fat, vinösa toner, vingummi, tanniner, ek. Kryddigt, men förvånansvärt gott.

Bottle. Pours clear black with a small tan head Ann's some lacing. Aroma is dark cocoa, earth, vinous, wine, oak, fudge, vanilla. flavor is medium plus sweet, light bitter, smooth. Full body, creamy. Wine barrel stouts are not usually my thing, but this is a great example of how they CAN turn out great.

Bottle, vintage 2019. Damn near black color. Aroma has mild earth, deep red grape, roasted grains. The great impy stout base is here with layered flavors of grape, star anise, chocolate, and roasted malt. For rich body with a dry roasted texture. ABV is mild. When I drink this I hear the reggae band UB40 playing in my imagination. Wonderful barrel treatment with amazing depth.

Dark pour with a light-tan head. Notes of wood, vanilla, toffee, mouldy oak, espresso, dust, sour cherries. Soft texture, really well-balanced, and a good amount less alcohol than the BBA version of Parabola. Very nice!

Draft. Black beer with a brown head. Chocolate and rich malt aroma. Chocolate and spice flavor with red wine and caramel. Medium bodied. Chocolate and spice linger with light red wine.
