I recently brewed the Left Hand milk stout clone here (with a couple minor tweaks). In the bottling bucket it tasted awesome: great coffee/chocolate notes and a nice little bit of sweetness.
I just cracked the first bottle today it's sadley nothing like it was on bottling day. First of all it's virtually uncarbed. It also is a weird slightly sour sort of fruity character. It's actually still totally drinkable though, if it doesn't start to really go down hill drink em for sure.
Obviously the first thing that came to mind was an infection, but I feel like the lack of carbonation sort of rules that out? Maybe possibly oxidation?
Thanks for any input!
