I brewed a honey molasses porter from extract. I fermented in secondary, but then tried a little cellaring to help clear it. i stored it for two weeks in my garage with a cap and airlock where it sat at around 50 degrees. I kegged last weekend and tried it today. It starts off right, but has a strong alcohol aftertaste that has not been present in my previous batches of this. is this an effect of some part of the brew process or cellaring, or is it something that will mellow over time that I should not be excited about yet? I am concerned that I picked something up somewhere as I have never tasted this before and I don't know enough about what causes off flavors yet. Thanks for the input.
