    Been almost exactly a year since I've had Totalitarian so i can't say.
    What i can say ,since its been less than 6 months or so since i had IRS, is that it aint tastin like IRS.

    Still worth buying if ya come across it, it's VERY similar to Narwhal to my palate

    Well I guess it's good they dropped the "russian" from the name then. Too bad they didn't actually re-release IRS

    Hey Tomas,
    Is Parabolita worth acquiring?
    Cheers!

    If you've never i think its worth trying once.
    I wouldn't want one again but that's because of the big Semi Sweet Chocolate flavor. I like 70% Dark Chocolate bitter flavor in my stout . It's personal preference.
    If i gave it an unbiased rating its easily an overall 4.25
    I'm the wrong person to ask about pastry/dessert stouts
    I didn't enjoy it but i kinda knew that when i bought it. too much goin on with the flavors .
    it costs 7 dollars at the brewery which isnt bad. i wouldnt go out of my way for it

    I enjoyed the Camp Blanket much much more.

    Recently grabbed 4 cans of Parabolita, have had one. Personally, I'm glad I tried it, and can sit on the others and look forward to enjoy them. Have never tried Parabola... To my knowledge (it may have snuck in at a beer bar years ago)

    [​IMG] Absolutely thrilled to have found some of this at my local distributor! I haven’t seen it in a while and was worried that reports of reduced distribution were happening in my area! A really good deal to price wise: $14 and change for a six pack of bottles!

    The last release had much more maple syrup. This is basically KBS with a little sweetness. Batch 1 is always king i guess

    Interesting how palates differ. I found this batch to be superior both based on coffee notes as well as the real “fudge” taste that seems to be dominant. Such is life.
