... and by earthy I mean dirt. I am not sure if there is a #1 culprit for this or not. I am guessing strained yeast but cant be sure because I didnt really do anything out of the ordinary on this brew. Has anyone ever been surprised by what I can only describe as a taste like dirt? There is a heavy malt taste up front and the beer smells like malt and caramel which is what I was going for. But, the finish is literally dirt. The way black top-soil smells... is what the finish tastes like.
