My dry irish stout has been in the bottles for about 10 days now. It's carbonated just fine. But the taste is not that great. I realize it's early in the process . . . isn't a stout supposed to taste weird for a few months? It doesn't taste medicinal, it really tastes . . . well, I guess like yeast. I'm not too sure what the "yeast" taste is since I never have had it, except in bread. But this doesn't taste so great.
I know patience is a virtue in brewing beer, and I'll let these age for as long as they need.
I guess your input would be appreciated . . . have any of you had stouts that tasted weird and then miraculously over time tasted awesome?
Also, this is the beer that would not reach my FG and stalled out at 1.019 after adding a second yeast packet. I imagine over time the yeast will go dormant and fall to the bottom of the glass, and then it won't taste so yeasty.
