Weizenbock... burnt taste???

Burnt tastes are almost always due to burning or carmelization. Was this an extract? When I do extract, I always shut the burner off while I'm stirring in the extract. I also stir the water a bit to cool the hot spots on the bottom. It's surprising how fast that stuff can toast.
Yes it was an extract. I shut the burner off and moved it to another burner on the stove per the instructions when I added the extract. Stirred it well and had a thermometer measuring the temp around 150-160 degrees. I thought that it might be the extract burning but I guess I am just surprised that it happened. Will the burnt taste mellow out at all during conditioning?

Did you use any specialty grains?
Alot of flavors will mellow over time, but I'm not sure if this is true for the burned taste.

is it a burned taste as in "burnt sugar" (like a blackened marshmellow from over the campfire)? Or is it a burned taste as in "roasted coffee" or maybe "burned toast"?

then it sounds like your extract probably scorched on the bottom of the kettle during the boil.
as david_42 said smoke flavor mellows out (the flavor from using smoked malts) but I don't know if the flavor of burnt malt extract will go away. It might... but I don't know.

Thanks for the input Walker!! It has been six days since I last tasted it, and I had to pop open another to confirm what type of burnt taste it was. I would say that is has mellowed out a little. I hope it will mellow out even more in time. Thanks again!!!!
no problem. I hope the beer mellows out to your liking!

With any luck it will mellow to the point that it's a possitive addition (crossing fingers)
yeah.. a Smoorzenbock!
(anyone reading who doesn't know what a 'smoore' is, it's a campfire thing with graham crackers, chocolate, and toasted marshmellows.)
