Tastes lovely, smells like beef stew. That is the way that I would explain my Test Ale, AKA Harvest Ale, aka find out what the hell Maris Otter tastes like by itself ale.
10lbs Maris Otter
2 oz Willamette
.5 oz Hallertau
.5 oz Irish moss
I am sanitary, I did a normal mash, used Coopers dry ale yeast and all went well. I don't have a chiller (which might be the problem) so it cooked all night in a corny keg and I added the yeast the next morning.
When I first smelled it I got a touch or butt funk or cooked butt (either way unpleasant). The taste though is great, smooth, tasty and good color, nice hop flavor (though not aroma).
Any ideas why I smell raw beef and yet taste yummy beer?
