Got an Altbier that started to develop a mild licorice taste in the background. Keg is and has been in kegerator, and licorice is getting stronger over several months. May dump this one. Any ideas?

What was the yeast and fermentation temp? What water did you use? Did you top off or full boil?

Oh, boy, I think the yeast was SO5, and ferm temp was 72-74. Used my well water, which is not treated in any way. It makes wonderful beers, except for this one. Full boil. I topped off my first brew of 2010 with about 1.5 gallons and just drank the last bottle tonight. It was wonderful.
