Not sure if this is the thread to post this problem under but I'm having some difficulties with my stouts. For some reason they all seem to come out with a sharp peppery(?) scent and initial taste, the taste ends up fading and you taste the way the beer was intended to taste as sort of an after taste.
At first I thought it was a soy sauce flavor, but it's not, it's definitely best described as sharp pepper scent and flavor, almost harsh at first but fades after the initial sip.... I can post the recipe if you'd like but I think this problem stems deeper as it's occurred with several different recipes... It also doesn't happen with my ales just my stouts, but, that could just be a coincidence..
