Imperial Coconut Stout Aged In Whiskey Barrels
Toasted coconut combines with notes of warm bourbon in each sip, washing over a fudgy chocolate base creating favors of chocolate-covered coconut truffles.

Pours like oil, a pitch black colour and a brown head with that doesn't last very long, but leaves some patches. Aroma's: sweet, coconut, molasses, chocolate, some dark/dried fruit. Retronasal there's a bit more fruit, still sweet, chocolate, coconut, a bit woody, boozy. Flavour is heavy sweet, chocolate-y, with light fruity sourness. Full bodied, viscous, very thick. Alcohol is warming but not sharp. Nice feeling carbonation. Long finish with mainly sweet chocolate. Nice dessert sipper.

2019 Vintage. Pours a thick, cola-coffee black, with mid-sized tan head that dissipates rapidly. Aroma is chocolate, coconut, licorice, bourbon. Flavor follows, with caramel and raisin. Very, very sweet and smooth beer. ABV is well-hidden. Delicious.

On draft at the brewery during the 2019 Assassin release. Aromas of coconut , oak, prunes and dark chocolate. Flavors are sweet pit fruits and dark fudge with some whiskey booziness. Nice variant.
