Aged for a year in Heaven Hill bourbon and cherry bitters barrels. ParaboLux takes our classic Parabola Imperial Stout and adds a twist inspired by chocolate cherry cordials. We added Luxardo Cherries and Tahitian vanilla beans, accentuating intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla and s'mores for an elegant & deLuxe and Luxurious version of parabola. The cherries were aged in casks of Parabola for five years.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours dark brn/blk with a transient tan head. Aroma is very cherry with dark chocolate. Full bodied. There's definitely heat, but it's like flavor. Bourbon and vanilla and dark cherry. Otherwise there's a lot of dark, non-sweet cherry, chocolate, and vanilla. Not dry. Not really sticky. Bitter? Heat substitutes. Nice flavor.
