Notes
I am trying to develop replicate a bourbon barrel-aged Russia Imperial Stout. After studying the Parabola profile published by Firestone Walker, I developed this recipe. While British yeast may be more appropriate, I am hoping that WLP001 is up to the task. As you can see, I like to keep my recipes simple and round all ingredients to whole numbers.
Complex -- Chocolate / Coffee / Oak / Bourbon
by emuellerThis ale is everything that I hoped it would be -- and more. Each sip delivers a cascade of the complex flavors -- chocolate, coffee, oak and bourbon -- in that order. It is a touch on the sweet side, which is how I like my RIS. All of the flavors do a nice job of masking the high alcohol content.
I am looking forward to doing a side-by-side comparison with one of my treasured FW Parabola bombers that I am aging.
