diacetyl appearing AFTER bottling?

[Walker]

Anyone ever had this happen?

I popped open one of my Pandora's this weekend to check progress and was shocked to find a strong smacking of butterscotch. I tasted NONE of this on bottling day (11/29), but it seemed big and prevalent this past Saturday.

My so-so Fat Tire clone seems to have turned into a remarkable clone of Rogue Dead Guy, IMO.

Hopefully it will work itself out in another week or two(?)

I hope so. Not that Rogue DG is a bad beer, but it's not really one of my favorites.

Anything I can do to facilitate the dminishing of the taste? (This is the first time I've had diacetyl, so it's a new beast to slay for me.)

This is what I get for letting that sucker sit in the fermenter so long.... Granted.. it was in the secondary for almost the whole time, but there WAS a lot of trub in there compared to most other batches.

I dunno.

I recently tried a bottle of my third (or 4th maybe) batch, which was a brown ale. It had a strong diacetyl flavor after bottling and after 6 months it still isn't gone. I don't mind diacetyl but the slick feeling it puts on my tongue grosses me out.
