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.

Thick black pour and a small beige head Fine intensity in the aroma Balanced sweetness for a beer at this alcohol level Mellow fine carbonation level Dangerously easy to drink. Creamy texture Dark malt, chocolate, vanilla, some booze, oak, fruity and some whiskey in the flavor Solid powerful beer [Bottle from a trade with ChrisOfstad]

Smooth, slightly roasty and heavy with stingy barrel notes, vanilla, oak, toffee, chocolate and cocoa, hints of creamy notes and earthiness. Quite balanced.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color sottu with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some alcing. Aroma of woody bourbon notes with some light vanilla and residual sugar notes with some black chocolate notes and roasted malt notes also quite dominant. Taste is dominated by woody bourbon notes with some dark roasted malt and black chocolate notes with some vanilla and a rather dry finish. Body is full with a nice oily texture and good carbonation with some warming alcohol notes. Nice late night sipper.
