I just bought a 3 keggle pump system from my buddy and made my first 10g batch a couple weeks ago. While i was raising the mash temp for mash out, I didn't realize i needed to constantly stir the mash and ended up scorching it. I was hoping for the best even though there was a nice sized crusty burn stain on the bottom of the mash tun. I tasted the beer today while taking a gravity reading an there is definitely a nice smokey, roasty off flavor that isn't very appealing (was going for a Hennepin clone).

Anyone know if aging might mellow this flavor?
