Not precisely sure what autolysis is supposed to taste like, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to find out in three weeks.
I just bottled my oatmeal stout.
I brewed it the week after Thanksgiving.
It's been on the yeast since then.
When I popped open the bucket, it didn't smell too bad, and the sample tasted fine. A little sweet, maybe. And the odor had that faint wood stain smell to it... but then again, so did my batch of BM's OctoberFast Ale last August, and it's been one of my best batches to date.
Hell, once carb'd up a little and served cold, I'll bet any off flavors will disappear. At least, that's my hope.
