I just transferred my Dry Stout to keg tonight after 4 weeks in the carboy and upon tasting my hydro sample and its... for lack of better description... overly smooth and the smoothness seems to linger around for a while and distracts from the rest of the flavor of the beer. Its not terrible, just not what I was shooting for and not what you expect to taste after smelling the deep roasty coffee aroma. I'm guessing the issue may be a result of an over addition of flaked barley. I was thinking about doing a little dry hopping in the keg to add a little something else to it in an attempt to counter act it but I've got no idea if this will be beneficial at all...
Any of you ever combat an overly creamy mouth feel and thick body through a dry hop addition?
Might the carbonation alone be enough to mellow it out?
Thanks in advance.
