Hi all, I tried one of my chocolate oatmeal stouts last night after 2.5 weeks since bottled and it had an astringent taste to it.
I know, know, stouts can take months to mellow but is this normal and will it mellow with a few months.
It was a PM kit that I added 4oz cacao nibs to in the secondary for 2 weeks after 2 plus weeks in the primary. I also used bottled spring water.
It was actually carbed enough but not very tasty with the astringent flavor.
