I have a finished wheat beer that's have been storing post secondary at about 70 degrees in a dark room for about a week till I have an open keg. It seems to have developed a dark (blackish) haze on top of the beer about and inch thick. Any clues? It doesn't have a off smell or any type of bacteria growth.
Finished beer black haze.

+1. Put that thing in a fridge (cold crash) and it'll really clear up.

Yup. The beer is starting to clear. Let it finish clearing up.
I had the same thing happen to a Tripel I let age for about 5 months. And no, it wasn't the yeast still settling out after that long. The beer was crystal clear throughout, both above and below the dark border, so I really have no idea what caused the change in color.

Looks right to me as well. Was really hoping for a picture of some crazy black muck in the carboy.... :cross:
