I had a belgian strong ale a few years ago that tasted a bit nail polishy after a 4week secondary treatment. Asked a mate about tipping it, He said if I could actually DRINK a sample withouth spitting it out, then to bottle it anyway. It had a thin filmy skin on top too.
So I did, and for the first 4 or so months, it was pretty wrong. I have to say a few half full glasses went down the sink. But after 6 months they really started to get drinkable, and quite bloody fantastic!
I say bottle it. And store it somewhere safe, in case of bottle bombs. Give it a few months and report back.
