After searching, I have been unable to find an answer to what causes a vomit smell in beer. I have had 4 AG batches now end up with this vomit smell. They are all darker beers. I am pretty sure 2 of them may have been underpitched, but the other two I am clueless as to what could have happened. My lighter colored beers and IPAs all turn out just fine. I have tried attacking one aspect at a time and am coming up empty. I have looked at PH, pitching rates, and temperatures. Has anyone had the vomit smell problem and isolated the cause?
