Hey now! I just transferred my winter warmer to the secondary and have discovered a burnt rubber smell and taste. This is the first time I have ever used a lager yeast(WLP810). After reading John Palmer's, "How to Brew" I believe I've personally experienced autolysis. I think I fermented at too high of a temperature for this kind of yeast and caused the cells to die. Has anybody ever have this happen to them? Is it time to dump this batch and start new?
