2015 Bottling - Gold and Platinum Wax (No difference between them)
Admin Note - This beer has been confirmed to be the equivalent of Assassin (Barrel Aged Norseman’s Wrath) with more time in the barrels. These mirror the 2014 Assassin release in that they are Pappy Van Winkle barrels and likely the same exact beer, batch, and base. However, because the brewery has chosen to distinguish the product under a new label (albeit, one that was a completely different beer before), we’ve allowed separation of this entry under our rules.

Bottle @ Dangerous Bottleshares 14. Thanks to Al for this. Gold waxed. Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aromas of boozy, bourbon, sweet fudgey vanilla, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, cocoa, light minty thing going on (what the fuck? I was the only one getting this. Almost like minty chocolate), burned wood, roast, liquor cake. Taste has lots of rich dark chocolate, cocoa, dry, malt, vanilla, fudge, caramel, roasted coffee, milky sweet notes, nuts, dark fruits, brownie. Holy shit this is good.
Black tan - bourbon, grape skin, rich chocolate 4.5

To the left. As insane as expected from this brewery. Crazy decadent and crazy delicious. Incredibly intense bourbon barrel character!

Bottle courtesy of linusb. Thanks man, huge want! Pours viscous oily pitch black with a small creamy goldenish mocha head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is intense to say the least, malty and nutty with roasted malts, burnt caramel, toffee, vanilla fudge, charred wood, toasted coconut, caramelized pecans, dark roast coffee, high quality dark chocolate, moist soil and bourbon alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty and nutty. Mouthfeel is thick viscous, velvety, round, oily, tiny astringent, slightly boozy and full bodied. Finish is insanely rich with all the components mentioned in the taste. As insane as expected from this brewery. Crazy decadent and crazy delicious. Tried side-by-side with Assassin 2014 and this definitely holds more bourbon barrel character. Insanely rich!
