Morning all,
Made an AG beer the other day using 5kg Warminster Maris otter, 400g crystal and 30g black malt, ended up OG 1.058. Whilst still very young (5 days in primary), the resulting beer tastes a lot like digestive biscuits.
It's not unpleasant, but I'm trying to understand why it has such a pronounced biscuit flavour.
Maris otter seems to be the main malt in loads of beers and I can't say I've ever tried a beer with such strong taste of biscuits. Is it a Maris otter thing, or a Warminster Maris otter thing? Will it fade with time?
Cheers
