I brewed an Imperial Rye IPA that tastes great, but I think it's too "thick", more syrup like than water I guess. I had some people sample it without telling them and asked for opinions. Out of four people two recognized the thicker consistency. I guess I'm confused, always associated more mouthfeel with higher mash temps. I mashed at 150F, the beer was in primary for three weeks, secondary for 10 days, and bottle conditioned for one month today.
Just curious if anyone has experienced this, and if it's a sign of some process during the brewing that I'm overlooking.
Cheers! Joe
