TOPIC:

My stout also has a bit of an off taste. I think I know what it is and what has caused it so am just looking for some feedback on it.

Jaysus with all this off beer, we might all want to skip it and go next time <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

Actually I quite like trying off beer. It can usually be fun and sometimes the off flavour can be interesting.

Two beers now with a band-aid smell/taste. Google tells me that would be the phenols and most likely bacterial infection. One had to go down the drain as it'd put a serious amount of hairs on your chest, the other I think I got to it in time. We'll see tho.

Could we propose a tasting order for this?

Assuming a 7 pm start:

Light to Dark ( Style )
Light to Strong ( Abv )
Then when we are all inocucculated we can try the "off-ones"

Any one care to sort out the list?

Ok, I know that some late arrivals are bound to happen but lets try to put a bit of shape on the night!
