I've brewed 3 beers from kits now: 1 Wilkos Sweet Newkie Brown, 1 Coopers IPA, and 1 Coopers Irish Stout.
The IPA tasted utterly fantastic but the Brown ale had an earthy taste to it. I've got the stout on at the moment and, having tasted it when taking a hydrometer reading (I think it's about ready to bottle), I have the same aftertaste (of this time it is much less pronounced).
Any ideas what this might be? I'm pretty scrupulous with sanitation so I don't think the beer is infected, also with the brown ale and Stout there have been a couple of occasions where the temperature was a degree or two (C) over the recommended range. I'm using Nottingham yeast.
