Untappd - 4.5
Assassin 2022 is the annual release of the legendary barrel-aged imperial stout brewed by Toppling Goliath. This beer was aged for over a year in American bourbon barrels, reaching a bold yet exceptionally well-balanced alcohol content of 13.6% ABV.
Assassin 2022 is a rich, decadent stout, offering deep aromas of chocolate, bourbon, vanilla, roasted malt, and a touch of smoke. On the palate, it delivers layered flavors of dark chocolate, coffee, caramel, dried fruit, and warm bourbon spice—such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and even subtle hints of menthol and gingerbread.
The texture is thick, almost syrupy, with a smooth, oily finish. While the alcohol is noticeable, it is seamlessly integrated, enhancing the beer's complexity and depth without overpowering the overall experience.
