I brewed a Porter (BIAB) about 4 weeks ago. I just took a measurement of 1.014 but noticed a odd smell. Best way I can describe it is Stale and Yeasty. So I tasted it, kind a tastes like it smells. Didn't taste like a porter at all. Has anyone ever had a beer that didn't taste good before bottling that turned out good after conditioning? The reason I'm asking is that I have made several beers that tasted pretty good before bottling. This is the first one that really tasted weird to me. Also the first time I used a starter w/ stir plate.
