I recently brewed a beer that was supposedly an old American Settler homebrew. It called for a pound of molasses. I used 15 fluid ounces, which comes out to about a pound and a quarter. It tastes terrible. There is a definite, and strong molasses flavor. Covers up all of the maltiness, and all of the hoppiness. It is just cold carbonated molasses. Now, it has only been in the keg for a week, and I know most flavors need more time than that to mellow, but does anyone with experience with it know for sure if it will mellow out?
