After endless hours of scorching in heat, brewing in turmoil, fermenting in angst, the Assassin's journey has just begun. In the shadow of the temple, he lies in wait, maturing his plot to perfection. He emerges merciless, dominated by darkness, his bite laced with the charred remnants of his victims. No man dares to cross his path. They will forever sleep with one eye open, in fear of the Assassin's hot kiss of death.

Bottle shared with and courtesy of Kermis. Big thanks. Poured black in colour with little life. The aroma is big roasty, molasses, warm alcohol. The flavour is strong sweet, with a smooth, rich, roasty, liquorice, chocolate, boozy alcohol bitter palate and a lingering liquorice bitter finish and an oily mouthfeel. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Dark sweet roasted malty with hits of roasted peanut and lots of roasted malt, full bodied, dark malty lingering finish. Gorgeous.
