First try with the kveik yeast and I got a molasses-like smell and taste, gravity os on 1010 but there’s still krausen on top. Is my beer ruined? Heeeeelp
 
There are several Kveik strains... which one did you use? May we know the full recipe, fermentation temperature and schedule, etc.?

You might be tasting and smelling molasses, but you/your brain associates what you are actually smelling, with the smell of molasses. If it is an off-flavour, it probably is something else. Maybe your beer is too young and not done fermenting yet. Recipe, malt, hops, yeast, pH, water composition, etc. will affect your beer in many ways.
