The newest of Tun Tavern's brews pours a deepbrown to black colour with a very thin head that leaves hardly any residue on the glass.
The aroma is decent but basic: some basi earthy malt, a touch of chocolate sweetness, an everso slight hint of vanilla and a touch of hop notes.
Here's where this beer starts to go awry: the flavour is completely unbalanced. In the back there's some nice malty creamy flavouring. The chocolate and vanilla mix together fairly well, but then an overpowering alcohol flavour justs engulfs everything in the middle and finish and just throws the flavour and any goodness in it way off. Mouthfeel is way off because of this as well. the alcohol again takes hold and is beyond warming and almost burning.
I was quite disappointed by this one as I had been waiting to try it for some time after hearing about it a while back. There's definite potential here but some major tweaking needs to be done. It's billed as an Imperial Milk Stout, and it is, but it needs to lean more heavily on the Milk Stout portion of the name rather than the Imperial one.
