    Where’s the most recent vanilla assassin sitting these days?

    I'm thinking BBT 21 range? 250-300ish?

    Not really a value question, but I remember reading somewhere that one of the Assassin vintages was considered not as tasty as others. I think it was more plum/raisin forward and not as much barrel. Was that 2018 (orange wax)?

    I've only had 13,14 and 16. 16 was very dark fruit forward.

    Continuance b3 > Maman with the difference being something like Achromatic Vibes or Parfait b4.

    Side note: funny that achromatic vibes was so low. Being a SP/WW collab seems like it would have been bigger.

    Honestly I was surprised at that "value" but there was another completed trade for around 300 for 2x bramble and 1x VB. If those are actually legitimate, then I would think a BBT closes it easily alone and probably longer with a plus. But take it with a grain of salt.

    There were several iterations of Assassin that people were much more 'meh' about than others. This appeared to culminate in the Orange wax (2018 sounds correct, but could have also been fall 2017). It was the only time I won, but speaking from some personal experience, not just what I think I remember reading.

    First release was, but SP made a ton, and it sat for...what, 2 months? And at some point you didn't even need to buy a package. So, more or less face value. But, that face value is $40 for a non-BA stout, and it seems like most people seem to agree that by the time you get to the end of the bottle, you're a bit sick of the beer. There's just so much, and the vanilla is perhaps a little strong.

    This said by someone that not only said this the first time (i.e. b1, after originally feeling like it was incredible during the first 5oz), but also as someone who chose to buy a bottle this year. I just intend to enjoy it over 2-3 days, and in small increments.

    Great type of beer to share and give every 3-5oz

    2018 is considered the least valuable despite its huge chocolate forward tasting on the 4 bottles and 2 tappings I’ve had. But I would say most assassins have a big dark fruit taste

    Heh 2018 is my favorite. I’ve always gotten huge dark chocolate notes from it and one California poster ripped me for saying that, telling me that nobody else would ever say that and 2018 was the worse. But oh well going to stout stock next week so hope I get another. I opened my one from stout stock last year last night

    Thanks for the replies and info. I guess I'll be hoping for 2018 Assassin on the scratch-off ticket!

    Any chance one of the Toppling Waters would land an EH Taylor Bigfoot?

    Been a minute. Thoughts on:

    BBT '22 --> Rye BBT '21

    Looking for 1:1. Could do IP either side of the state to help swing things.
