I brewed a stout w/ smoked maple syrup last weekend. Tasted it last night and the smoke flavor is way too strong right now. I used 2 quarts of smoked maple syrup in a 3.5 gallon batch.
I know smoked maple syrup is an uncommon ingredient. But does anyone have experience with beers w/ smoked malt. Does the smoke flavor fade in a couple months?

- I can do nothing and wait a couple months if the consensus is the smoke flavor will fade.
- I can brew a similar mini batch this weekend w/o the smoked maple syrup and blend it in the fermenter.
- Or I can wait a month, taste and do nothing or brew a mini batch then and blend it...
