Firestone Walker - Parabola 2014

I'd imagine anyone who has rare would also be able to get darkness and parabola pretty easily. good luck

 

Anyone know when we will see it in Philly?? Still haven't even seen Sucaba around yet...

 

fwiw, you are not close. Someone might trade you a Rare for like 8 bottles of Parabola but even then I'm not sure.

 

I think you may have just missed Sucaba. It already came and went in South Jersey and Philly area. You could still probably find a bottle in some of the bottle shops in Philly if you don't mind paying $20+.

Still haven't seen Parabola yet though.

 

Keep us posted on that Philly sighting for Parabola!

 

Whats your costco location?

 

I had some on tap at the Feral One release. To be honest, it was not that good compared to previous years. My buddies and I all agreed that there is a noticeable hop presence that we didn't necessarily get in the past. Hopefully the bottled version is better.

 

I had it at the Feral release as well, and again last weekend at BarrelWorks. I thought it was fantastic, and will calm down in a few months. Its very young, and the increased abv could lead to a perceived high note. I do think there was a touch more coffee bitterness involved. All in all, another great vintage.

 

Goleta.

 

This...being that a single bottle of Rare is going for $150-$250 on *.com...

 

I'm now through about 4 bottles of this year's, and I've got to say it IS better than last year's batch. Must be the barrels used, but it tastes very well rounded on all flavor fronts and mouthfeel. Very thick and decandent.

 

Where you getting it??

Any sightings in Sacramento area yet?

 

I agree. I also thought it was a touch thinner than prior vintages. People have disagreed with me, but I feel the difference will be very noticeable when I get around to lining up the 5 year vertical.

 

I haven't run across any... The Citrus Heights BevMo told me it would probably be weeks, but I only saw 2 bottles of §ucaba show up there, and that was after most other stores got it..

 

If anyone in the Sacramento area ends up with some extra bottles of this year's, I have a bunch of 2013.

 

Has anyone seen any in stores in so cal? LA, OC, SD? I'm patiently waiting for it.

 

Nope.

 

I received word we will see it in the Denver Area next week

 

Hey, let us know how that trade offer works out for you.

 

I managed to grab a few Sucuba and a couple of Velvet Merkin last month. Has Parabola popped up in Brooklyn or Manhattan? Last year I could not find a bottle, I must persevere.
