I was at a local brewery this afternoon (first time visit) and I noticed in a couple of their beers, there was this STRONG STRONG STRONG grain smell and flavor. I'm talking open-a-fresh-55lb-sack-of-Maris-Otter-and-breath-DEEEEP fresh grain smell. It was a little concerning as I have never experienced such a malt-in-your-face experience... I was almost put off by it. My initial thought was that they must have "dry-hopped" with grain to get that unfermented fresh from the grain mill malt smell.
Is this a good thing? Bad Thing? How did they do it??
