Can from B for beer, Chania the alcohol is strong in this one, I also get vanilla, coffee, dark caramel, some roasted malts, cocnut. these notes are more like flavoring stuff or flavors has been added, than more subtle methods like barrelling, wood chips, etc. also a bourbon/wood note though, bit faint, perhaps it's been on bourbon soaed wood chips too. flavor is bourbon and coconut, decent roasted malty balance, strong roasted malty, faint coffee ending, also notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, coconut. The flavor is way better than the aroma, flavor is more like a whole, much better balanced. Aroma also have this alc. sting, which the flavor has not. Very good flavor. probably 8.3. The beer is a true imperial stout, very brutal, very full bodied and very flavorful - it has this artificialness about it also in the flavor but much less than aroma. And the flavor is real good, great balance, better than most other pastry imperial stouts.
