So I was listening to the most recent Can You Brew It podcast for Meantime English IPA and the brewer (can't remember his name at the moment) said something really interesting. He mentioned that they had an all 100% Maris Otter beer and he had to eventually back it down from 100% because he "swore to God" that much Maris Otter "has a distinct flavor very similar to diacetyl".
I think this idea might have some ground because I recently did a bitter with probably 90% Maris Otter and a little dark crystal and I swore it tasted straight up like butter. Is this an old idea or has anyone else experienced this?
