2017 vintage, opened late 2025. Pours clear dark copperbrown. Small white head. Toffee, mild earthyness. Caramelly taste is very nice, fall-leaves, caramelly, dark fruits, some raisin like features. Barrel is very smooth and mellow, obviously since it has a few years on it as well. More than decent, showing no real age downfall ! Medium boozy finish.
gave a cheers!

2023 bottle drunk 10/13/25.
Clear, dark. Small, tan head. Moderate retention.
Rich nose with good homogenization of adjuncts and malt. You get the cinnamon, but it's not dominant or aggressive. Lots of rich malt with light fudge and plentiful, mildly spicy bourbon. Doesn't seem too sweet and it isn't boozey.
Lightly-to-moderately sweet, probably a bit more perceived sweetness than actual sugar here, on account of the soft, round adjuncts. Cacao is rich and wonderfully-done, while the cinnamon, just like in the nose, is tasteful and doesn't dominate or overdry the palate. Barrel is certainly there, with light lead and spice and a lingering warmth. But the beer seems to be more about the malt and adjunct interplay. Tasteful all-around and good attenuation with no booze noted. Not a syrupy, alcoholic monster, yet still intensely-flavored with excellent barrel character. Looks like the additional age has helped this one.

Two entries for this (Paryebola & PaRyebola (2024) but the first one was entered fire by Bhensonb and there’s only been one batch) 12oz bottle from Firestone Paso Robles Brewery Store my 8th bottle according to Untppd. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, rye, and whiskey with no adjuncts. Black with a big tan head. Flavor is lightly sweet and smoky. Excellent stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Paryebola on 05 Oct 2025 at 21:41 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.

On tap at Kaffee Bazaar, Markt Sq, Ypres, Thursday 9th October 2025 after a 917km drive from nr München yesterday and finished today. We walked the short walk from Urban Gardens Campsite. Pours pitch black with a light beige head, thick in the mouth, boozy and woah...this is fucking amazing, I believe it's a bonkers blend and it really is. I cannot be arsed to continue rating this, take it from me it's marvellous.
gave a cheers!

Bottle from a friend's cellar. Black pour with a brown, foamy head, surprisingly stiff for an older strong beer. Smell has slight bourbon at first sniff, some fruit leather, and a bit of semi-sweet chocolate. Taste is kind of a cola thingie, since it's still very fizzy. Slight lactic curl on my tongue, then more light chocolate.

Can. Pours clear tang, small white fizzy head, decent lacing. Aroma is heavy on the pineapple and guava. Flavor is light tart, hint of funk, nice POG and pineapple notes. Light body. Good.
